Director of The Glasgow School of Art, Professor Penny Macbeth said:
“We are saddened to hear of the death of our alumnus, John Byrne.
John Byrne had a seminal influence on Scottish culture and society both
as an acclaimed artist and an award-winning playwright and theatre
maker.
He was and will continue to be an inspiration to generations of GSA
students as well as to the wider creative community. He will be much
missed.
Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.”
