    R.I.P. Robbie Shakespeare

    Robbie Shakespeare, the legendary bass player and one half of the band Sly and Robbie, has died at the age of 68.
    Shakespeare's friend, manager and producer Guillaume Bougard confirmed the musician's death in a statement to CNN Thursday. Bougard said Shakespeare passed away in Miami, Florida on Wednesday due to complications following kidney and liver transplants a year ago.
    "We kept praying for a miracle, but it was not enough," Bougard said. "This is very tough."

    Bougard described his "friend and mentor" as an "absolute musical wizard."

    A sad day for the groove ...

    "In July last year, he placed at Number 17 on 'The 50 Greatest Bassists of All Time list', compiled by the prestigious Rolling Stone magazine."
