Cornelius Bumpus, the saxophone player for the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan, has died of a heart attack while on a commercial flight on his way to a show in California.

His wife Linda was with him on the flight. At the corneliusbumpus.com website she tells fans "It was on the plane, on the way to a gig, that Cornelius suffered a heart attack. Not one to want to call attention to himself, he would probably be appalled to know that the plane made an unscheduled stop in Sioux City to try and get help for him".

Bumpus moved from San Francisco to New York in 1986 and was his way to Columbia College to perform at a Jazz Festival this weekend.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
