Guitarist Dave Rosser of the Afghan Whigs has died of colon cancer at age 50. "It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our friend, brother and inspiration," wrote the band on Facebook. The band first shared the news of Rosser's illness last year, holding a pair of benefit concerts to defray his medical expenses.

The Afghan Whigs originally formed in 1986, breaking up in 2001. Rosser wasn't a part of the original lineup, but he played in two bands with frontman Greg Dulli, and became part of the Afghan Whigs' new lineup in 2014, after the band reformed. Rosser played on both of the band's reunion albums.

Over the course of his career, Rosser also played with other artists including Ani DiFranco. He was with the Afghan Whigs when they visited The Current for an in-studio performance in 2014. (Rolling Stone)

The music world is also remembering singer-songwriter Gary DeCarlo, who has died of lung cancer at age 75. DeCarlo was best known as frontman of the band Steam and co-writer of their 1969 number one hit "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye." The song found a lasting legacy as a sports anthem — it remains a popular pick for baseball teams to play when a visiting team changes pitchers — and recently made news when the chorus was used by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives to warn their Republican colleagues that passing the Affordable Care Act could cost them reelection.
