Sad news today in the world of music.
Richard Swift has succumbed to his weeks-long illness and has died at the young age of 41.
The indie musician/producer, who in addition to solo efforts was a member of The Shins for 5 years and The Black Keys for 2, had been suffering from “a serious medical condition” according to a GoFundMe page which was set up last month.
