"He joins our brothers Maurice, Monte and Ronald in heaven and is now drumming with the angels," brother and fellow band member Verdine White shared on Instagram.
Though he left the band in the '80s, Fred returned for their induction ceremony to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.
"He joins our brothers Maurice, Monte and Ronald in heaven and is now drumming with the angels!" Verdine White, Fred's brother and founding member of Earth, Wind & Fire, wrote on Instagram. "Child protégé, member of the EWF ORIGINAL 9, with gold records at the young age of 16 years old! He was brother number 4 in the family lineup. But more than that at home and beyond he was the wonderful bro that was always entertaining and delightfully mischievous!"
The official Earth, Wind & Fire Instagram account shared a video of Fred performing a drum solo during the band's 1979 world tour in Germany. |
