Rock Legend Found Dead at 53

Gregg Foreman was found dead at his home in Los Angeles.

Gregg Foreman, former frontman of The Delta 72, has died at the age 53, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. He was found dead at his home by first responders with the fire department Tuesday. His cause of death has not yet been revealed. He was best known for fronting the alternative band, which he started in 1994. The group would release three albums together before disbanding in 2001. The multi-instrumentalist and DJ also played with major artists including The Gossip, Beth Ditto, Lucinda Williams, Jesse Malin, and Linda Perry. Most recently, he was a part of the band Cat Power. He was on tour with the band and had revealed on social media that they were in the process of mixing and recording their first EP. Many of his close friends and collaborators posted tributes to the late artist on social media. “For better or for worse, he lived a life that others only claim to have lived and he was one of one. His love for music was as genuine as the pain he harbored. Wishing you peace Gregg, for all of eternity, heavenly sounds and cosmic rhythms,” musician and poet Wesley Eisold wrote.
