The band Fountains of Wayne lost their frontman today to complications from COVID-19.

ABC News Radio writes, “…bassist and songwriter Adam Schlesinger has died of complications from the COVID-19 coronavirus…

Earlier this week, Schlesinger’s attorney said that the musician had been hospitalized with the virus, and that he was on a ventilator.

Schlesinger co-founded Fountains of Wayne with lead singer and guitarist Chris Collingwood in the mid-90s, and the two shared songwriting duties throughout the band’s five-album career. Fountains of Wayne found mainstream success with their 2003 single “Stacy’s Mom.”

RIP Adam.
