Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard took a few minutes to pay tribute to Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger during his at-home live-stream show on Thursday (April 2).
Schlesinger, who was also known for writing music for the show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, died at age 52 on April 1 due to complications from the coronavirus."I never got to meet Adam.
We had a lot of connective tissue -- a lot of friends in common -- but wen ever had a chance to meet," Gibbard told fans about 41 minutes into his set. "But I owe him a huge debt of gratitude because he was integral in picking 'Me & Magdelana' for The Monkees to record four years ago."The '60s band recorded the tune, written by the rocker, for their 50th anniversary album Good Times!"I always.
