Dave Mason, the British guitar virtuoso and songwriting powerhouse who co-founded the seminal Band Traffic, has died at the age of 79.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee passed away peacefully on Sunday, 19 April, at his residence in Gardnerville, Nevada. In a poignant statement, representatives described a 'storybook ending' for the musician, who spent his final hours cooking dinner with his wife, Winifred, before falling into a permanent sleep in his favourite chair with his dog, Star, at his feet.
