(CelebrityAccess) – David Roback—the producer and multi-instrumentalist who co-founded Mazzy Star alongside Hope Sandoval—has passed away at the age of 61.
News of his death was confirmed by a rep for the band on Tuesday (Feb. 25). A cause of death was not revealed.
Roback played a leading role in the neo-psychedelic revival of the 1980s and ‘90s. Prior to forming Mazzy Star, he also played in bands such as Rain Parade and Opal.
