LOS ANGELES | Vince Welnick, the Grateful Dead’s last keyboard player and a veteran of other bands including the Tubes and Missing Man Formation, has died, the Grateful Dead’s longtime publicist said Saturday.
Welnick died Friday, said Dennis McNally, who would not release the cause. The Sonoma County coroner’s office said an autopsy would be performed next week.
He lived in the northern California town of Forestville, but McNally said he didn’t know whether he died at home or in a hospital.
