Lloyd died, aged 75, on Saturday (November 7) at his home in Tennessee, following a battle with cancer. Johnny Marr, who was heavily influenced by Television’s guitar sound during his time with The Smiths, was among the names paying tribute online.

On stage on Saturday, Geese paid their respects to the late musician as well, with Cameron Winter telling the crowd in Philadelphia “Rest in peace Richard Lloyd’, before the band broke into a brief cover of the Television song ‘Ain’t That Nothin’’.

O show foi a primeira de duas noites que as ex‑estrelas do NME Cover alinharam no local The Fillmore durante o fim de semana, e eles apresentaram sua versão da clássica canção de 1978 depois de tocar sua própria música '2122.

For their rendition, the upbeat instrumentals remained largely the same to the Television version, although Cameron Winter’s distinctive vocal style made the Geese cover much more brooding compared to the original playful, punky song.

This isn’t the first time that Geese have shared their love for the New York punk giants. Back in 2024, Winter and co. used their Geesefest residency to break out a rendition of the 1977 classic Television track ‘Marquee Moon’.

The following year, they also spoke to GQ about the comparisons between their respective sounds, and said that they were pleased to be aligned with the fellow New York rockers, although careful that their guitar riffs didn’t sound too much like a “rip off” of songs like ‘Guiding Light’.

Desde o show no The Fillmore na sexta-feira, os Geese tocaram mais um show no local de Filadélfia na noite de domingo (November 8) e continuarão sua turnê de shows norte‑americanos de 2026 amanhã (Tuesday November 10) com dois shows em Boston, Massachusetts.

As for Richard Lloyd, other tributes came from fellow singer-songwriter Lloyd Cole, who shared his admiration for the guitarist on X.

The passing of the musician came after it was reported in August that he had been diagnosed with bile duct cancer, with the band appealing to fans for financial support during his treatment.

His death comes less than four years after Television frontman Verlaine died in January 2023 at the age of 73, while bassist Fred Smith died in February this year, aged 77.
