Greg Brown, the founding guitarist for Cake, has died. The band's social media account announced the news today, saying he passed "after a brief illness."
"It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Greg Brown’s passing after a brief illness," Cake posted. "Greg was an integral part of CAKE’s early sound and development. His creative contributions were immense, and his presence—both musical and personal—will be deeply missed. Godspeed, Greg."
Greg Brown founded the band in 1991 with singer John McCrea, trumpeter Vince DiFiore, drummer Frank French, and bassist Shon Meckfessel. Brown played on some of Cake's most important records, like 1994's Motorcade Of Generosity and 1996's Fashion Nugget before departing the group in 1998.
