Published on his FB page:

Dear Fans,
In deepest sorrow we have to inform you that Klaus has passed away yesterday on April 26, 2022 at the age of 74 after a long disease but all of a sudden.
He leaves behind a huge musical legacy and is survived by his wife, two sons and four grandchildren.
In his name and in the name of the family we would like to thank you for your loyalty and support over all these years – it has meant a lot to him!
His music will remain, and our memories…
There’s a lot more to write about him as person and artist but he probably would have told us: nuff said!
According to his wishes we will bid farewell to him in the closest family circle. You know him and what he always said: my music is important, not my person…
Maximilian Schulze
also in the name of the family and the Klaus Schulze-Team

Crushing news… he was King Daddy #1 of electronic music in my world. Rare is the week when I don’t listen to at least one of his albums. Yesterday it was “X” in fact. RIP… he will be missed and his legacy deserves a spot near the top of creative greats of the last century.

A massive loss indeed. A true pioneer who continued to develop and innovate until the end.

RIP Klaus.

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,

rather than un-sheath our sword

Damn. I recall reading he had an illness, but I guess with the recent release I just assume he had gotten better, at least to an extent. So sad to read, a giant of electronic music for sur.e I"ll be spinning those first ten albums over the next couple of days

RIP

Sad day. My lifetime favourite musician, a most profound artist and intellectual who crafted sonic works of great immersion. Quality oeuvre throughout, with timeless 70s classics, followed by, I feel, a maintained signature and sense of earnest art throughout several different musical periods (even ones which can be tagged commonly as sampling-based, ambient, new age). 

Hope he's at peace, after what must have been a lengthy period of illness, though I feel he found a kind of serenity and ease in his latest works. That makes this saddening farewell easier to take in.

Rest in peace.
