R.I.P. Gerard Smith

Posted by Jason Baxter on Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 3:24 PM

Gerard Smith, bassist for indie greats TV on the Radio, has lost his battle with lung cancer. The band has issued a statement on Smith's passing at their website, and canceled five dates of their upcoming tour.

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.
