Former Replacements guitarist Bob "Slim" Dunlap has died at the age of 73, 12 years after suffering a stroke that left him largely bedridden. The news was confirmed in a statement released by his family.
"Bob passed at home today at 12:48 p.m. surrounded by family," read the statement. "We played him his Live At The Turf Club, (Thank You Dancers!) CD, and he left us shortly after listening to his version of Hillbilly Heaven – quite poignant. It was a natural decline over the past week. Overall it was due to complications from his stroke."
