RIP Gerard Smith: TV on the Radio

Yesterday morning, Gerard Smith, the bassist for TV on the Radio, lost his battle with lung cancer. He was 36 years young.

It was announced about a month ago that Smith was battling the disease. According to several media sources, the band said Smith had health insurance, great medical care and had already seen "dramatic results." However, Smith was unable to join the band on tour as they promoted their latest album, "Nine Types of Light."
