One of the longest-running English punk rock bands on the world music scene, Strenglers, was left without keyboardist, singer and songwriter David Paul Greenfield on May 3.

According to them, Greenfield “throughout his 45-year career was world famous as a keyboard wizard”, but also as the author of one of the Steglers’ greatest hits: the heroine song “Golden Brown”.
“We have lost a true innovator, a music legend and one of my dearest friends. The word genius is used too lightly today, but Dave Grenfield certainly was. We were on the same stage together for 20 years, laughing , joking and sharing our lives in a way that only the band’s friends can. I will miss him forever. “Our thoughts and hearts go out to his wife Pam, and the millions of fans who bowed before his altar will never be again. so united and equal, “he said on the Baz Varma website.
Greenfield died at the age of 71. He was born in 1949 in Brighton, where he learned the guitar from his older peers. When he left school, he performed with various groups on American bases in Germany.
He joined Strenglers in 1975, a year after founding the band. He played with them for four and a half decades, but he also collaborated with other bands. Many musicians believe that “it was his musical ability and gentle nature that made the Stenglers different from all other punk bands.” The group says that “Dave was a personable, kind and eccentric character who always had time to talk, and that the departure of such great talent is a great loss.”
In August 2018, the Stronglers last played in Belgrade, at the Birfest. In addition to the enthusiasm of many fans, his visit was remembered for political statements that Serbia has a “president who interferes in everything, and does not know much about everything, and who is very popular, in one part of society, and very unpopular in another., which is the situation as in any other place in the world. “
