The Pogues have paid tribute to their "great friend" and bandmate, bass player Darryl Hunt who has died age 72.
The punk group announced Hunt died on Monday afternoon in London, adding they were "saddened beyond words". The cause of death is not yet known.
They shared a photo of Hunt playing a guitar and quoted lyrics of their song Love You 'Till The End, which was written by him.
Band frontman Shane MacGowan added that they will all miss Hunt.
MacGowan wrote on Twitter: "I am very very sorry that Darryl has passed on, he was a really nice guy and a great friend and a great bass player.
"We will all miss him."

Re: Darryl Hunt, 72, RIP
Sad news to hear, the writer of Love You Till The End which is one of my favourite Pogues tracks and definitely their best song not penned by Shane.
RIP
