Silos bassist Drew Glackin dies suddenly

He was surrounded by family and friends during his final days. In a statement issued by Bloodshot Records, his bandmates said, "Drew was adored around the world and his larger than life spirit and contagious jovial energy touched everyone he met, everywhere he went. He was a musician of the highest talent and made his mark in countless bands, record albums and many thousands of live performances. He will be sorely missed and the memories of his music, his great humor, and his magnanimous generosity of spirit and love will be with us forever."

Silos founder Walter Salas-Humara had been in the band with Glackin and Konrad Meissner on drums for about nine years.

Bloodshot Records founder Rob Miller said, "The Bloodshot family and the music community in general is poorer, and less fun, with Drew's untimely and unexpected death. Drew liked having a good time, and he loved making sure those around him were having a good time, too. I will sorely miss getting caught up in his joyful slipstream whenever and wherever our paths would cross."
