Babyshambles announced that guitarist Patrick Walden passed away. The band members Peter, Drew, Mik, and Adam shared their sadness about losing their friend and bandmate. They asked fans to give them space during this tough time. Many supporters posted messages remembering Patrick as a talented musician and kind person. People praised his guitar skills and said the band reached their best moments when he played with them.

Patrick joined Babyshambles after Pete Doherty left the Libertines back in 2004. The group put out their first single that April and Patrick became part of the main lineup that summer. He played alongside Pete Doherty, bassist Drew McConnell, and drummer Gemma Clarke. Their first album Down in Albion came out in 2005 and went straight to the top 10 charts. The band stayed active for about 10 years and released three albums that all made it to the top 10 in Britain.

Fans remember Patrick as someone who made the live shows possible because his guitar work let Pete focus on singing. One supporter called their album Down in Albion a masterpiece. Another fan mentioned how Patrick created amazing sounds that helped the band during their peak years. The group's final album Sequel to the Prequel came out in 2013 with Jamie Morrison from Stereophonics taking over drumming duties.
