I totally missed this news. It was my sister (she’s a huge Crowes fan) who informed me of his passing recently.
A fellow Canuck, Eddie played keys with the Black Crowes from 1991-2006. He was also in James Cotton’s band in the 80s!
He’d just formed a new band, The Magpie Salute, a band including old Crowes Rich Robinson, Marc Ford and Sven Pipien.
No information has been given about cause of death. Eddie died in Toronto on Nov 4, 2016. He was 59 years old.

I was really gutted when I found that out… Such a vital part of the Crowes sound along with Ford. Really looking forward to The Magpie Salute… though it’s tinged with sadness 😕

Agreed all around, J. Sad, sad news.
Will they be releasing anything from Magpie?

As far as I understand there’s plans to continue… the facebox page certainly suggests they’re still active and adding tour dates. Whether it results in a full blown studio album is anyone’s guess!

I hope it happens – I’d love to hear what they were up to…

Even though I posted an RIP on FaceCrack, I didn’t know he was Canadian!
