Justin Cary, the Sixpence None the Richer bassist, has died at the age of 50.
The musician “passed peacefully” on Thursday after suffering from a “serious stroke” one week prior, according to a GoFundMe.
“Linda was next to him,” a statement posted to the fundraising page read, referring to his wife. “Please continue to pray and give strength during this very difficult time.”
Last week, Cary was hospitalized at Albany Med in New York, where he underwent two surgeries and was placed in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
“The road ahead is uncertain and scary so if you are so inclined to pray, send good vibes and healing energy it would be truly appreciated,” the GoFundMe description reads.
“We wanted to put together a fundraiser to help them during this time and show them love and support. Updates will be made on this site so we can allow Linda to be with Justin at the hospital while they take each step day by day.”
Then, one day before Cary’s death on July 17, the page’s organizer gave another update, sharing that he was still “in the ICU and on a respirator.”
“He is receiving amazing care!” the update read. “Linda is right next to his bed reading to him and hopeful he hears her.
“She is also telling him how much he is loved. Please continue to pray and send healing vibes.”
