Malcolm Mclaren famous for managing the sex pistols among other great bands was laid to rest today after passing away on April 8th in switzerland at the young age of 64. The Punk advocate had been battling against cancer since october 2009. His funeral proceedings carried on in true punk fashion. His coffin was spray painted with the words "Two fast to live too young to die" the name of his shop on kings road and the horse drawn hearse was followed by four cars and a green routemaster - Destination 'Nowhere'.
Vivenne Westwood had this to say:
"I am very, very sad that unbelievably Malcolm is dead and I just wanted to say
on this cruel, cruel day - get a life, do something with it."
Other Guests in attendance to pay their respects were Adam Ant, Bob Geldof and Sex Pistols' drummer Paul Cook. Mclarens Family urged the public to have a 'minute of mayhem' at noon in tribute, "Put on your favourite records and let it RIP!"
A send off which I expect Mclaren would have been proud of.
