Karl Wallinger, the talented multi-instrumentalist known for his work with World Party and The Waterboys, has passed away at the age of 66. His publicist confirmed his death on Sunday, although the cause was not disclosed.
Wallinger initially gained recognition as a member of The Waterboys, contributing as a keyboardist and vocalist on their hit song 'The Whole of the Moon.' However, creative differences led him to depart in 1985 and form his own band, World Party, where he crafted a unique sound drawing from influences like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Van Morrison.
