TV on the Radio's Gerard Smith Dies :(


TV on the Radio bassist Gerard Smith has died from lung cancer. The band saddened by his death has released a statement on their website:

We are very sad to announce the death of our beloved friend and bandmate, Gerard Smith, following a courageous fight against lung cancer. Gerard passed away the morning of April 20th, 2011. We will miss him terribly.

They have cancelled the first 5 dates on their new tour. They have a new album out called "Nine Types of Light" which is as masterful as the band ever was. We give you their performance on the Late Show with Letterman which blew everyone away on September 12, 2006.  R.I.P Gerard Smith.
