Sioux's Heartbreak Over Her 'Favourite Guitarist'

Punk star [Siouxsie Sioux](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/siouxsie-sioux) is still wracked with grief at the death of her favourite guitarist - fellow BANSHEE JOHN McGEOGH - who died just before she asked him to collaborate with her at her first ever solo gig last year (04).

The [Siouxsie And The Banshees](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/siouxsie-and-the-banshees) frontwoman performed at London's Royal Festival Hall last October (04), and during the planning stages, the 48-year-old singer was keen to invite her former bandmate to make an appearance.

But the Scottish guitar hero, who formed punk band [Magazine](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/magazine) with [Buzzcocks](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/buzzcocks) founder HOWARD DEVOTO before joining The Banshees in 1980, died in his sleep after a terminal illness at the age of 48.

Sioux says, "When I was in the planning stages for the Festival Hall I though of inviting John to play.

"The news of his death was very upsetting. I really miss him. John was my favourite guitarist of all time."
