McLaren passed away in Switzerland this morning (April 8). He had been battling cancer.

He then went on to briefly manage the New York Dolls before launching the career of the Sex Pistols.

He guided the punk rock pioneers to the top of the charts in 1977 with their iconic hit, ‘God Save The Queen’.

McLaren also managed Bow Wow Wow in the 1980s before later dabbling with politics.
