discreet Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 He and Larry Graham were really the only slap players I had time for. And playing on one of the world's all-time best-selling albums was quite an achievement, imho. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it's not mixed up with that is it? It's all over Twitter. People paying respects including famous musicians. But still can't find any official word???

Though I also saw on twitter that apparently his brother broke the news? I'm skeptical and hope it's a hoax/error... but it will be a hell of a loss if it's true, only 60 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
