We just got word that Eddie Money passed away this morning, just hours after we had posted today's Friday's Flash.
A statement issued by his family said:
“The Money Family regrets to
announce that Eddie passed away peacefully early this morning. It is
with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our loving husband and father.
We cannot imagine our world without him. We are grateful that he will
live on forever through his music.”
While we knew the prognosis wasn't good, we are still saddened by this loss. (We saw Eddie in concert a few years ago and he was outstanding.) Our sympathies to his family and legion of fans.
Eddie has ten songs nominated for our TOP 3333 MOST ESSENTIAL CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS OF ALL TIME survey, all of which have been assured a spot on the final countdown.
Here's our original review to the show we saw back in 2014:
