Former guitarist and songwriter for Kiwi rock band the Exponents David Barraclough has died after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
Jordan Luck, former lead singer and songwriter for the band said Barraclough was diagnosed with the illness a month ago and "went quickly".
Luck said there was no pain
or suffering and when the pair last spoke Barraclough was "more cheerful than his normal happy self".
He was only despondent about his beloved football team Crystal Palace's woeful season, he said.
Luck remembered Barraclough as an "exceptionally gifted guitarist" and "an exceedingly excellent touring companion".
