Former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren has passed away, aged 64.
According to The Independent, McLaren had been battling cancer for some time, although his condition rapidly deteriorated over recent weeks. He died this morning in New York.
His body is expected to be brought home to be buried in Highgate Cemetery, North London.
Born in North London, McLaren was best known as manager and impresario of the legendary punk band The Sex Pistols.
Before embarking on his career in music, he famously opened a clothes shop on the King's Road with ex-partner and fashion icon Vivienne Westwood.
The couple's son Joseph Corre was the co-founder of lingerie shop Agent Provocateur.
