Itβs with immense sadness that Iβm writing to tell you Keith passed away peacefully yesterday at 2.06pm at The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow. In a 28 year partnership he changed my life immeasurably and together we took our work in directions and to places few people are lucky enough to explore. I am forever grateful for everything he bestowed on me, both as a partner in music and as a friend. Keithβs intensity and passion for life, for music, for creativity and for positive change simply never let up. He was formidable. His belief in people and the idea that standing together, that our collective strength is powerful was unwavering. I loved him for that.
My thoughts are with Keithβs family and friends. Thank you to them and the extended group who have tirelessly supported Keith and each other in the last few months. Thank you to the staff at The Hospice who made this last while as good as it possibly could be.
Keith left us far too soon. He will go now to travel those space-ways but I know his energy remains in every one of us who had the privilege of knowing him. I love you forever Keith.
βAll things pass, into the nightβ¦β
It grieves me beyond words to share the sad news that, after some months of suffering from glioblastoma, #JDTwitch of @optimo-espacio.bsky.social has passed. His #Optimo partner JD Wilkes has posted this message on their Instagram account.
