Brett Tuggle has died aged 70.
The former Fleetwood Mac keyboardist and David Lee Roth Band musician died after being diagnosed with cancer.
Paying tribute to the veteran musician, rock star Rick Springfield shared a selection of photos of the pair over the years.
He wrote on Twitter: "Our sweet Brett Tuggle made it home tonight. God bless his beautiful spirit. @BrettTuggle1."
Brett is survived by daughter Michelle and son Matt, who told Rolling Stone that his family was "with him throughout the entire time of his illness".
"He was a lovely father. He gave me music in my life," Matt added.
Fans also flocked to Twitter to pay tribute to the musician, with one writing alongside two photos of him on stage: "I was fortunate enough to see Brett Tuggle perform with @LBuckingham in September 2021 here in MN. Here’s a screenshot from a clip from their DC show days later (with Brett shown clasping his hands), and a @KorgUSA shot of Brett and Lindsey from an earlier tour. #RIPBrettTuggle."
While another commented: "Brett was an unsung hero in so many HUGE bands: Rick, David Lee Roth, Fleetwood Mac. He was a stellar human. He personally responded to a fan email I sent him years ago about his big contributions to all these bands. So sad. Condolences to his family and friends."
A third wrote: "Oh no!!! I’ve seen him many times touring with @LBuckingham, that’s terrible news. May he rest in peace and I’m sorry for your loss."
