Long time bassist for Willy Nelson Dan "Bee" Spears passed away late Thursday at age 62 from exposure due to a tragic slip & fall accident on his property just outside Nashville.
RIP and thanks for holding down the groove on so many legendary songs.
RIP Bee...I got to hear him a few years back at a Willie concert and enjoyed his simplistic style and pure country tone. It fit perfect for Willie and company.

How tragic. So glad I got to see him with Willie a couple of years back. Willie introduced him as the oldest member of his touring band.What a shame, not as old as I thought he was 62. I loved his tone and playing style which was not easy at all with Willies singing and songs. RIP Dan.
Oh, man. My GF and I just saw them for the first time summer 2010 in CT. We were like 5 rows back. He looked just like the picture Rolling Stone put up. Very sad.
My heart goes out to his family, and the Nelson's.
