Тэрээр хамтлагийнхаа нөлөө бүхий Marquee Moon цомгийн дуугаралтыг тодорхойлоход чухал үүрэг гүйцэтгэсэн юм.
Ллойдын гэр бүлийн мэдээлснээр тэрээр цөсний сувгийн хорт хавдраар нас баржээ. The New York Times сонинд түүнийг анх гуравдугаар сард оношлогдсон гэж мэдээлсэн байна. The Smiths хамтлагийн гитарчин Жонни Марр түүнийг гитараар болон амьдралын хэв маягаараа бусдад урам өгсөн уран бүтээлч хэмээн дурсжээ.
Пенсильвани мужийн Питтсбург хотод 1951 оны аравдугаар сарын 25-нд төрсөн Ллойд Манхэттенд ахлах сургуульд суралцаж, эхэндээ бөмбөр тоглож байгаад гитарчин болохоор зорьсон байна. Тэрээр 1973 онд дуучин, гитарчин Том Верлейн, басс гитарчин Ричард Хелл, бөмбөрчин Билли Фикка нарын хамт Телевижн хамтлагийг байгуулжээ. CBGB клубын эргэн тойронд бүрэлдсэн Нью-Йоркийн хөгжмийн урсгалын нэг хэсэг болсон хамтлагт хожим Фред Смит нэгдсэн байна.
Телевижний 1977 онд гаргасан дебют Marquee Moon цомгийг Punk урсгалаас төрсөн шилдэг бүтээлүүдийн нэг, post-punk дуугаралтын эхлэл болсон цомог гэж үздэг. Хамтлаг 1978 онд Adventure цомгоо гаргасны дараа удалгүй тарж, Ллойд 1979 онд Alchemy цомгоор бие даасан уран бүтээлээ эхлүүлэн нийт долоон цомог гаргажээ. Телевижн 1990-ээд оны эхээр эргэн нэгдэж, 1992 онд Гластонбери хөгжмийн наадамд тоглосон бөгөөд Верлейн 2023 онд 73 насандаа таалал төгссөн юм.
Ллойд рок хөгжмийн түүхэнд өөрийн мөрөө үлдээхийг зорьсноо биелүүлсэн, хамтлаг рок хөгжмийн талаарх ойлголтод өөрчлөлт оруулсанд бахархдаг тухайгаа энэ онд ярьжээ. Дуучин Ллойд Коул Телевижний дуунуудын мартагдашгүй риффүүдийг Ллойд тоглодог байсныг онцлон дурссан байна. Ллойдоос эхнэр Шейла О’Киф Ллойд, хүү Дилан нь үлджээ.

Richard Lloyd, the guitarist who helped define the sound of the influential rock group Television, has died. He was 75.
Television formed in 1973 and were an early fixture at New York club CBGB. Their 1977 debut album Marquee Moon is considered one of the greatest records to emerge from the punk scene and a forerunner of the post-punk sound.
Lloyd’s death was announced by his family, who said in a statement that he died of cholangiocarcinoma, a bile duct cancer. The New York Times reports he was initially diagnosed in March.
The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr was among the many to pay tribute, writing on Instagram: “R.I.P Richard Lloyd. A seeker and finder and a true inspiration with and without the guitar. It was an honour to know him and a blessing to have been a fan. Thank you Richard. Carry on my friend.”
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 25, 1951, Lloyd attended high school in Manhattan. He initially learned to play drums before setting his heart on becoming a renowned guitar player.
After periods living in Boston and Los Angeles, Lloyd returned to New York where he formed Television with singer-guitarist Tom Verlaine, bassist Richard Hell and drummer Billy Ficca.
The band were part of the exciting New York scene that emerged around CBGB, along with the likes of the Ramones, Blondie and Talking Heads.
After Hell left the band to start the Heartbreakers, Blondie bassist Fred Smith replaced him. They subsequently signed with Elektra Records, who released 1977’s widely acclaimed Marquee Moon and 1978 follow-up Adventure.

The band split not long after, and Lloyd released 1979’s Alchemy, the first of a string of seven solo records.
Television reunited in the early 1990s, and performed a string of live dates including an appearance at Glastonbury Festival in England in 1992. Verlaine died in 2023 at the age of 73.
“I wanted to make a dent in rock history,” Lloyd told Guitar World earlier this year. “That was my goal, and that came true.
“We made a difference with how rock was thought of. I’m proud of that. Tom didn’t want to talk about that… he thought he was above mentioning the past. But I’m extremely proud. I know we made a difference.”
Lloyd Cole, of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, joined those paying tribute and wrote on X: “I just heard. RIP Richard Lloyd. I only saw Television once – All those amazing riffs that drive the songs – Richard played them all.”
Lloyd is survived by his wife, Sheila O’Keefe Lloyd and his son, Dylan.
