Garth Hudson, the keyboardist and last surviving member of The Band, has died. He was 87. Hudson “passed away peacefully in his sleep” on Tuesday morning at a nursing home in Woodstock, New York, his estate executor confirmed to the Toronto Star.

Bob Dylan, for whom The Band had provided support for his infamous shift to electric music in the mid-1960s, was on hand. So were Eric Clapton and Joni Mitchell. Van Morrison and Ringo Starr. A pair of Neils – Young and Diamond.

The Canadian virtuoso, known for his solo on “Chest Fever,” gave the group a “sound twice as big” and his mates music lessons.
