With a heavy heart, we have to inform you of the British musician’s passing on Nov. 11, 2022. According to sources, Nik Turner’s cause of death is unclarified. May he rest in peace.

It must be noted that US day News does not confirm nor reject any of this information. If you read incorrect details, please, allow us to know.

Born on August 26, 1940, the British musician gained fame as a member of space rock pioneers Hawkwind.

Mr. Turner played saxophone besides flute, as well as being a vocalist and composer.

Turner was known for his experimental free jazz stylizations and outrageous stage presence, often donning full makeup and Ancient Egypt-inspired costumes, while with Hawkwind.

Turner used to own a van, with which he originally offered his services as a roadie to the newly formed Hawkwind.

At the time the band discovered his passion for the saxophone, he was offered a position in the band to add to the overall weirdness of their sound.

During the recording of Choose Your Masques, back in 1982, Brock invited Turner to the recording sessions and he was asked to front the band for the album’s tour.

Not to mention Nik Turner’s cause of death, he left this world behind at 82.

Turner’s second stint in the band lasted just over 2 years. He was featured on live albums including:

Zones,
This Is Hawkwind,
Do Not Panic
The band’s first released concert video, Night of the Hawks.

However, the band did not undertake any studio recording together.

This is while some live albums and videos were released; however, the band did not undertake any studio recording.

At the end of 1984, he was sacked once again while preparing material for The Chronicle of the Black Sword album.

Nik Turner’s Cause of Death Is Behind Shadows

Not mentioning Nik Turner’s cause of death, his social media platform released a statement: “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Nik Turner.”

“The Might Thunder Rider, who passed away peacefully at home on Thursday evening. He has moved on to the next phase of his Cosmic Journey, guided by the love of his family, friends, and fans. Watch this space for his arrangements,” it reads.

It’s told that unfortunately, one of the key pillars and acid guru of prime-time Hawkwind left this world behind at the age of 82.

Damo Suzuki played the Fountain Inn with his all-star Sound Carriers at the Laugharne Weekend 2019, which included Euros Childs and New Order drummer Stephen Morris. At the end of their set, Nik Turner joined them.

Mr. Nik turned up at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas playing an official SXSW gig at Rebels Honky Tonk bar billed as Nik Turner (ex-Hawkwind) playing predominantly Space Ritual songs in March 2013.

Also, he guested on stage with The Soft Moon at Hotel Vegas the previous night. Not to mention that he played saxophone and narrated “Brainstorm” on the Warfare album. (2017 High Roller Records)

Re: Nicholas R Turner’s cause of death.

*It would be lovely if the World could view it very simply- Nik played music in to his 80s, then had a bit of time just home surrounded by the family he adored before his natural life ended. Nik Turner gave his all to his love of music, matched only by his love for his family and friends, and at the end of his life he got to enjoy quality time- the man who had and did it all.*

If someone doesn’t say it then perhaps people may pry in to it. Would prefer the respect the family and do not, nor drag out of them the events prior to his passing. So… in their interests and with the best intent here’s what happened-
Nik Turner had an illness, he needed hip surgery and, off balance had a serious fall. This resulted in a Traumatic Brain Injury and it was speculated he lost 80% of his memory and cognition. This left Nik in a poor state of health & requiring almost constant assistance from his family. Despite the speculated cognitive impact he was mostly lucid and still very much able to enjoy the time he had with them, as they cared for him. No doubt enjoying the time with him, though all can appreciate, surely that it may not have been easy at times for them.
It’s has been a private time and long (seeming) time caring for Nicholas Turner post T.B.I. for his family- and was a relatively short period of his long life between the TBI and age related issues towards the end, I hope people can appreciate that the family probably don’t want that time to be what stands out in anyone’s memory. While it lives in theirs, happier times were greater and in time they’ll have that recall.

My sympathies and thanks go to his family who took such good care of him in the last days of his amazing life- they have been a credit to him, and speak to his amazing character as a good man.

There may be a primary cause or investigation, though in all likelihood Natural Causes, secondary factors T.B.I. Immobility and general age related factors. Have said it twice above- please take his great life as his ultimate cause of death, and what a life it was!
