Charlie Colin was found dead after reportedly slipping and falling in a shower while house-sitting for a friend in Brussels.
Charlie Colin, bassist and founding member of Train, has died. He was 58. On Wednesday, Colin’s sister Carolyn Stephens confirmed the death to The Associated Press. He died after slipping and falling in the shower while house-sitting for a friend in Brussels, TMZ reported. According to Colin's mother, the musician was teaching a master class at a conservatory in Brussels and was finishing making music for an upcoming film.
While Colin grew up in Southern California, he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. It was there where he began playing bass in a group called Apostles, which consisted of guitarist Jimmy Stafford and singer Rob Hotchkiss. After the band's demise, Colin, Stafford and Hotchkiss relocated to San Francisco years later and formed Train in the early 1990s with singer Pat Monahan.
Charlie is one incredible bass player, but he was in a lot of pain, and the way he was dealing with it was very painful for everyone else around him,' Monahan told NBC San Diego in 2017, noting that he told the band he would quit if Colin stayed. 'They weren’t happy about the choice. They were very clear that I put them in a very tough position.' Shortly after the news of Colin's death was released, the band took to their official Instagram account to share a heartfelt message.
Fans were quick to react to the news as well, offering their condolences. 'Charlie was my musical hero,' one follower commented. 'His playing inspired me to become a musician. He was so gracious in letting me into his life. The world has lost a consummate artist and truly beautiful soul. Love and condolences to Charlie’s friends and family.' 'What an incredible loss to his family and the music world. Rest in Paradise,' another wrote.
