The music world has been mourning the loss of Steve Albini since he unexpected passed away at age 61 on Tuesday (5/7), and now PJ Harvey, who recruited Albini to engineer and mix her classic 1993 sophomore album Rid of Me, has shared a tribute.
“Meeting Steve Albini and working with him changed the course of my life,” she says. “He taught me so much about music, and life. Steve was a great friend – wise, kind and generous. I am so grateful.”
“My thoughts are with him and his family and friends as we suffer his loss.”
PJ posted the statement along with photos and artwork from the Rid of Me era, as you can see below. See more tributes to Steve here.
