New Zealand musician and 'Dunedin sound' icon Hamish Kilgour has been found dead after being missing since November 27.
Kilgour co-founded band The Clean in 1978, and was last seen at Palms Shopping Mall in Christchurch.
The Otago Daily Times reported a police spokeswoman confirmed he had been found dead.
Police confirmed to Newshub the matter had been referred to the Coroner.
The Clean were inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame in 2017.
The jangly trio, whose early 1980s output still has a cult following today, were inducted at Dunedin's Town Hall in September 2017.
Brothers David and Hamish formed the band in 1978 with Peter Gutteridge, who was eventually replaced by Robert Scott. It was this line-up that released classics like 'Tally Ho!', 'Anything Could Happen' and 'Point That Thing Somewhere Else'.
They split before releasing a full-length album, but reformed in the 1980s.
Hamish Kilgour joked at the time he'd rather have been inducted to the "Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in America, because I think that one comes with some cash".
Tributes have swiftly followed online, with many describing Kilgour's music as "life-changing".
"So gutted to hear about Hamish Kilgour. His music was lifechanging for me coming up and I'm sure so many others - huge inspiration to be smart and different and yourself whatever that might sound like. Love to his family and friends. Sucks," Toby Morris wrote.
RNZ Music 101 host Charlotte Ryan said Kilgour was "an incredible musician".
"Incredibly sad news about the death of Hamish Kilgour. He was such an incredible musician, wrote so many beautiful songs, and amazing rocking, stonking ones too. Sending love to his family and friends."
