Bob Weir, whose rhythm guitar stylings helped shape the sound of the Grateful Dead, died on January 10, from underlying lung issues after fighting cancer. The announcement was made in a statement on his social media accounts: “For over sixty years, Bobby took to the road. A guitarist, vocalist, storyteller, and founding member of the Grateful Dead. Bobby will forever be a guiding force whose unique artistry reshaped American music. His work did more than fill rooms with music; it was warm sunlight that filled the soul, building a community, a language, and a feeling of family that generations of fans carry with them. Every chord he played, every word he sang was an integral part of the stories he wove. There was an invitation: to feel, to question, to wander, and to belong.”
