Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has been paying tribute following the death, aged 76, of Scott Walker. Yorke wrote: 'He was a huge influence on Radiohead and myself, showing me how I could use my voice and words.'

His record label, 4AD, said in a statement: “For half a century, the genius of the man born Noel Scott Engel has enriched the lives of thousands, first as one third of The Walker Brothers, and later as a solo artist, producer and composer of uncompromising originality.

His interpretation of the work of Jacques Brel brought the Belgian songwriter’s music to a new audience. He devoted much of his later career to more experimental work – which, although it sold less well, has been noted as an influence by a range of artists.
