Guitarist Duane Eddy has died at the age of 86. He had a string of hits in the late 1950s/early 1960s including Rebel Rouser, Peter Gunn and Because their Young.
On a personal note I went to see him in the early 1960s at the Liverpool Empire when he was on the bill with Clyde McPhatter, Emile Ford and the Checkmates and Bobby Darin.
Duane was a fantastic guitarist and his records were produced by Lee Hazelwood.
