Kraftwerk co-founder Florian Schneider dies aged 73

Schneider founded and formed Kraftwerk with Ralf Hutter in 1970, and the band became a pioneering group in the electronica scene.

He left the band in 2008. Prior to his departure he was known for playing synthesizer, vocoder, flute, sax and more.

Kraftwerk were due to reunite for a 50th 3D anniversary tour this summer. They would've played London's All Points East festival later this month before it was cancelled due to the coronavirus.
