Rick Froberg, a staple of the San Diego music scene who helped headline multiple successful bands, has died at age 55, his longtime collaborator announced.
Froberg, the frontman of Drive Like Jehu and later Hot Snakes, died Friday of natural causes, according to an Instagram statement from guitarist John Reis.
“His art made life better,” Reis wrote. “The only thing he loved more than art and rock n roll was his friends. He will forever be remembered for his creativity, vision and his ability to bring beauty into this world. I love you, Rick. I will miss you for the rest of my life.”
