Another Svengali Bites the Dust: Malcolm McClaren
Malcolm McLaren, the former manager of the Sex Pistols and impresario, has died. He was 64.
Despite early reports that he had died in New York, McLaren’s girlfriend of many years, Young Kim, 37, confirmed the impresario died of mesothelioma at a hospital in Switzerland.
The fashion designer Vivienne Westwood has paid tribute to her former partner Malcolm McLaren: “When we were young and I fell in love with Malcolm [McLaren],” Westwood said in a statement. “I thought he was beautiful and I still do. I thought he is a very charismatic, special and talented person.” She added: “The thought of him dead is really something very sad.”
Sex Pistols (and later Public Image Limited) band leader Johnny Lydon said in a statement: “For me Malc[olm] [McLaren] was always entertaining and I hope you remember that,” he continues. “Above all else he was an entertainer and I will miss him, and so should you.”{NME}
