Former Santana vocalist Alex Ligertwood has died at the age of 79.
The Latin rock band crooner “passed peacefully in his sleep with his doggy Bobo by his side” on Saturday, his wife, Shawn Brogan, announced via Facebook.
“Alex was loved by so many,” she wrote alongside photos of the musician. “If you knew him, you loved him. He touched so many with his extraordinary voice. He was all heart and soul.”
The matriarch reflected on Ligertwood performing his last show a few weeks ago, adding, “I’m grateful for that. He did it his way, on his terms, till the end.”
She concluded the heartbreaking statement, “I will always love you, my sweet Alex,” and asked fans to keep herself and her kids in their prayers.
