Scott Walker - singer-songwriter, composer and record producer who came to fame as part of The Walker Brothers - has died at the age of 76.

After his time in the mid-1960s as frontman for the pop music trio (whose members were all unrelated despite the group's name), he became an increasingly avant-garde solo musician with a unique voice and several of his albums went No. 1 in the U.K. He continued to release solo material in one way or another until his death.

Many artists have expressed their admiration for Walker or listed him as an influence, especially in the wake of his passing.

Thom Yorke tweeted, "So very sad to hear that Scott Walker has passed away, he was a huge influence on Radiohead and myself, showing me how I could use my voice and words. Met him once at Meltdown, such a kind gentle outsider. He will be very missed."

Marc Almond of Soft Cell instagrammed, "Absolutely saddened shocked by the death of Scott Walker. He gave me so much inspiration so much I owe to him and modeled on him even down to my early S C hair cut and dark glasses...He was enigmatic, mysterious and with some of his latter recordings, to me, infuriating. An absolute Musical genius , existential and intellectual and a Star right from the days of the Walker Brothers. So many of his songs will go round in my head forever. And that Voice. We lost Bowie now we've lost him. There is surely a crack in the Universe. Thank you Scott."
