DEVO member Bob Casale Passes Away, Age 61

DEVO guitarist Bob Casale is trending on Twitter today, which you probably already know can only happen due to sad news.

Casale passed away at age 61 yesterday, February 17, from heart failure. He's survived by his wife, kids, bandmate Gerald and the rest of the DEVO family.

"As an original member of Devo, Bob Casale was there in the trenches with me from the beginning.  He was my level-headed brother, a solid performer and talented audio engineer, always giving more than he got.  He was excited about the possibility of Mark Mothersbaugh allowing Devo to play shows again. His sudden death from conditions that lead to heart failure came as a total shock to us all. " — Gerald Casale, DEVO
