Joey (Joseph Charles) Molland passed away last night, surrounded by Mary, his two sons, and other family members at 11:39pm CST. When I receive the information regarding arrangements, I will post them here. I was in bed when it occurred…and I woke up to this news, so I’m sorry for the delay.”
He continued, “I’ve already seen a few posts in my personal feed, and a half dozen PM’s were sent this morning. (Thank you for the sympathies.) Needless to say, although I knew the situation was bad, it was still a shock to the system. I’m sure if you’re reading this for the first time, it’s a shock to yours, as well. Long Live Badfinger.”
