Vic Chesnutt has passed away Options

I didn't see anything posted yet so I thought I'd mention it.

Vic Chesnutt, who toured with Live back in 1994 just after Throwing Copper was released, has passed away. Vic was in a coma for a few days, apparently due to a self-inflicted suicide attempt (that if true was ultimately successful).

Ed and Vic did a duet for the song "Supernatural" that Live ultimately covered on the Unplugged session and appeared on the "Sweet Relief II" compilation in 1996.

I was really bummed to hear this.

My first exposure to him was Supernatural but years later when Widespread Panic became my favorite band I was introduced to much more of his stuff. Panic covers his stuff and he would sit in with them from time to time. Such a talented guy, really sad.
