Sad news indeed.
Lloyd's Roxy connection goes back to 1972 when, after winning a Melody Maker competition and appearing on the Old Grey Whistle Test, he toured as support to Roxy and Sharks (the latter included Chris Spedding, of course).
He obviously kept in touch with his musical friends after 801's brief existence in 1976, as last week's tributes on Facebook included those of Phil, Andy, TGPT & Bill MacCormick.
On a personal (if slightly selfish) level I was sad never to meet Lloyd, as my deluxe 801 Live set bears the signatures of the other five group members. I had been in touch with Lloyd's sister, who maintains his Facebook page, over the past couple of years with a view to arranging a meeting, so that he could add his autograph and complete the set. Unfortunately he had some health problems which required me to play a respectful waiting game and, sadly, that plan will never come to fruition.
For an example of Lloyd's slide guitar mastery, here's that OGWT appearance:
