Thats sad, loved his WP Goodbye Jumbo album, seen the Waterboys a few times, and he was the same age as me. RIP Karl

 

[LuvMyQuad]

Sorry to hear this. I always thought Private Revolution and Goodbye Jumbo were very underated albums

 

[elroy]

Very sad news. I thought there was a new WP album in the works before Covid hit, not sure if it got derailed

 

[cbmmm3]

oh wow. man, always loved World Party. RIP KW

 

[JDeanB]

Very saddened. I met him after a show several years ago. He was one of the kindest, coolest people I ever met. Rest in Peace.

 

[The Hoople]

Sad news indeed. Big fan of his WP work.

 

[SeeMoreDigital]

Yep... Very sad news indeed...

Oh No. I love his contributions with the Waterboys and am currently digesting the extensive box set “1985” which chronicles the period of Waterboys album “This is the Sea”.

Amazing, another person/band/band I've not once heard of. My rock and roll roots really did a number on me branching out I guess.

I’m not familiar with his work, but 66 is way too young.

R.I.P Karl - hugely talented - I had the pleasure of recording him for Waterboys 'A Pagan Place' and Bob Geldof's 'The Happy Club.
