“This morning I got a phone call, telling me that Kevin ‘Geordie’ Walker had died few hours ago in Prague, following a massive stroke last Friday.”

Calling Geordie “the closest friend and most important person I’ve ever had outside my family,” Signorelli wrote in part: “I don’t remember even one moment Geordie was around that was awkward or boring. Geordie had a reputation for being abrasive and sometimes curt with people who tried to approach him, but the reality is that he didn’t want to waste his time with people he didn’t like. And ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ was for Geordie entirely a matter of instinct.”

 

Killing Joke’s Martin Atkins also confirmed Geordie’s death by sharing a video of THE DAMAGE MANUEL’s “Laugh Track” with the caption “gutted”. In the comments section, Atkins wrote “Geordie has passed”. He also later posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, writing: “#GodBless Geordie Walker”.
