"Met him once at Meltdown (festival), such a kind gentle outsider. He will be very missed."
Marc Almond said that Walker was an "absolute musical genius, existential and intellectual and a star right from the days of the Walker Brothers".
Absolutely saddened shocked by the death of Scott Walker," he wrote on Instagram.
"He gave me so much inspiration. So much I owe to him and modelled on him even down to my early Soft Cell hair cut and dark glasses..."
He added: "So many of his songs will go round in my head forever. And that voice. We lost Bowie, now we've lost him. There is surely a crack in the universe. Thank you Scott."
