Former member of Wilco, Jay Bennett died yesterday, and we don’t yet know what the cause of death was (autopsy is pending). He was only 45 and representatives for Wilco could not be reached for comment yet. He was a main part of Wilco’s best albums, “Being There” and “Summerteeth.” I think, without him the band would have never earned such a cult following, by injecting strong pop craft into Jeff Tweedy’s Tupelo style. In May 2009, Bennett sued Tweedy for breach of contract stemming from his work for Wilco. The suit came less than two weeks after Bennett publicly revealed that he needed hip replacement surgery which he could not afford due to lack of health insurance. You will be missed, Jay.
