Alas, the last surviving member of The Band survives no more!
RIP Garth Hudson, quirky multi-instrumentalist who, upon being invited to join the group, made the other members each pay him a regular fee to cover "music lessons," so this classically trained musician's family wouldn't blow their tops over his collaborating with a bunch of longhairs.
He made it to 87. Not too shabby, Garth.
