Bob Weir, Grateful Dead's founding member, has died at age 78
A statement released Saturday on Weir's Instagram page announced that the jam band icon 'transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer.' Weir’s death leaves drummer Bill Kreutzmann as the only surviving original member.
