    "comment": "Phil Lesh, the founding bassist for the Grateful Dead, passed away on Oct. 25, 2024, at the age of 84, according to a post on his social media. \n\nThe post read: “Phil Lesh, bassist and founding member of The Grateful Dead, passed peacefully this morning. He was surrounded by his family and full of love. Phil brought immense joy to everyone around him and leaves behind a legacy of music and love. We request that you respect the Lesh family’s privacy at this time.”\n\nLesh was part of the Dead in its earliest form – as The Warlocks. After The Grateful Dead dissolved in 1995 following the death of lead guitarist Jerry Garcia, Lesh continued making music with former band members in different iterations of Phil Lesh and Friends.\n\nHe was born in Berkeley, CA. In 1940, Lesh met Garcia at a Bay Area house party. They met again after a 1964 Warlocks gig in Hayward, CA, and Garcia invited him to join the band.\n\n“Box of Rain” and “Unbroken Chain” were among the most popular songs that Lesh wrote for the Grateful Dead. He also contributed to the four-part harmonies on ‘Workingman’s Dead’ and ‘American Beauty.’\n\nIn 2012, Lesh and his wife Jill opened Terrapin Crossroads, a restaurant and venue in San Rafael, CA. \n\nIn 1998, Lesh received a liver transplant after contracting hepatitis C decades earlier. He survived prostate cancer in 2006. He revealed in 2015 that he had contracted bladder cancer.",
