Grandaddy bass player Kevin Garcia has died after suffering a stroke.
The musician helped found the group, and played on each of their albums – up to and including this year's wonderful 'Last Place'.
Tragically, Kevin Garcia suffered a stroke and died surrounded by his friends and loved ones. A note from Grandaddy reads:
"There are no accurate words to express what we need to. We are absolutely shattered to say that we lost our friend and band mate Kevin Garcia early this afternoon. He succumbed to the effects of a massive stroke. We were all able to say goodbye to him and he was surrounded by his closest friends and family here in Modesto."
The note ends: "We'll have more to say in the days ahead. Right now the four of us are grieving together. With great sadness and love, Grandaddy."
A GoFundMe page has been set up in Kevin Garcia's memory, designed to aid his family with coming expenses – get involved HERE.
