Grateful Dead bassist and co-founder Phil Lesh has died at the age of 84. According to a statement from his family, the musician “passed peacefully this morning (Oct. 25). He was surrounded by his family and full of love. Phil brought immense joy to everyone around him and leaves behind a legacy of music and love. We request that you respect the Lesh family’s privacy at this time.”

No cause was provided, although Lesh had a liver transplant in 1998 to combat hepatitis C and battled both prostate and bladder cancer over the years.

Phil like Garcia had a very one of a kind tone & style!
