Grateful Dead keyboardist dead at 51
Vince Welnick, the Grateful Dead's last keyboard player and a veteran of several other bands, including the Tubes and Missing Man Formation, has died at age 51, the Grateful Dead's longtime publicist confirmed Saturday.
Welnick died Friday, said Dennis McNally, who declined to release the cause.
Welnick lived in the northern California town of Forestville, but McNally did not know if he died at home or in a hospital.
"His service to and love for the Grateful Dead were heartfelt and essential. He had a loving soul and a joy in music that we were lucky to share," the group said in a statement on its Web site. "Our Grateful Dead prayer for the repose of his spirit: May the four winds blow him safely home."
