Some bummer news to report for fans of legendary metal act Death. Bassist Scott Clendenin played on The Sound Of Perseverance and was out in 2012 and 2013 on the Death To All tribute shows.
Eric Greif, the manager of Death posted the following on the band's Facebook page:
With a sense of shock I'm letting all of you know of the passing today of former DEATH bassist Scott Clendenin. Scott had some health challenges in the last few years but was optimistic about his prospects. Of course he was the skilled player on The Sound of Perseverance DEATH album, and recently participated in two DTA live runs, in 2012 and 2013, including the highlight of his acoustic guitar in a poignant rendition of Voice of the Soul. Our thoughts go out to Scott's family at this difficult time. ERIC
No cause of death was revealed. He was only 47 years old.
