We were saddened to learn of the passing of MAGNUM guitarist Tony Clarkin. The band announced it this Tuesday evening on social networks. News of his death comes just weeks after it was announced he had been diagnosed with a rare and incurable spinal disease. Following his diagnosis, MAGNUM canceled its previously announced spring 2024 tour.
From the Clarkin family:
On behalf of the family it is with profound sadness that daughter Dionne is sharing the news of the passing of Tony Clarkin.
Following a short illness, he died peacefully surrounded by his girls on Sunday 7th January 2024.
“I know that Tony has touched so many people through his music in so many different ways. I don’t really have words to express what he meant to me right now as the grief is too fresh.
As many of you know Tony had a great affinity with animals. It is the family’s intention to set up a charitable trust in his name to aid this cause, further details to follow. Please do not send flowers or cards, as he would have much preferred expressions of sympathy to go to charity in this way.
It was a privilege to call him my Dad.”
“I didn’t look to live forever”
