It is with a heavy heart that we share Keith Sharp passed away peacefully early in the morning of October 18 after a short illness. Keith was co-founder and Editor-In-Chief of Music Express magazine, the only contemporary publication in the history of the Canadian music industry to execute national record retail circulation via records stores, and national newsstand circulation.

Thank you to all of the loyal Music Express readers who have stuck with us over the years. Keith Sharp was the heart and soul of Music Express and the publication will not go on without him. What a long, strange, wonderful trip it’s been.

Thank you Keith.
