"His creative contributions were immense, and his presence – both musical and personal – will be deeply missed”: Greg Brown, co-founder of '90s band Cake has died

Guitarist Greg Brown is shown performing on stage during a live concert appearance with Cake on November 12, 1996.

Greg Brown, the guitarist and co-founder of 1990s alt-rockers Cake, has died, aged just 56.

Cake are probably best known – in the UK at least – for The Distance, which reached Number 22 in the spring of 1997. Technically, they’re not one-hit wonders – the follow-up, a straight-as-a-die cover of I Will Survive also went Top 30 a couple of months later.
