I saw brad in england and shawn stayed outside and spoke to everyone of us and was a gentleman with a big heart and a lovely soul. Diabetes is one of the worlds biggest killers . This news has hurt my heart and today i will spin shame again and again. Shawn was one of us. A real person. Sad so sad

Shawn was the best! Huge loss for for the world. So sad to hear this. Shawn, you made a big impact on the world. Thanks for your willingness to share your gifts with us. RIP brother.
A friend called me up yesterday to tell me about Shawn’s passing, on my birthday no less. I’ve been thinking of him a lot since and just being so grateful to have shared some rooms with him through the years. All I can do now is to fill this room with his voice once again and hope it’s the strings the angels pull on to bring him home. Godspeed, Shawn.
So very, very sad. I was fortunate enough to see him several times live and spoke to him on a few occasions, he was always such a sweet guy and always welcoming. The last time we hung out for what seemed ages after the Bristol, UK show chatting, which I'll cherish forever.
As for how he died, unfortunately I can't post the link (see Travis Hay's twitter feed), but according to a statement from Marco Collins at KEXP Seattle he's spoken Regan Hagar and said re Shawn dying from complications of diabetes:
"This is not true...He had a heart issue unrelated to diabetes..."

Read that Brad was in Stone’s studio making a new record. How very sad.
Maybe they will release an EP or some finished tracks?

I woke up to the news on Saturday morning and was absolutely devastated. It was the very first thing I saw when I opened Facebook. I had to put the phone down and shed a few tears. Shawn was my favorite Seattle singer. He was also an amazing and beautiful soul. He was humble, gentle, insightful, introspective and kind. He was always happy to stop and chat. I was lucky to see him perform many, many times in various bands/projects from Brad, Satchel, Pigeonhed, solo, Mother Love Bone celebrations, etc... A sweeter voice didn't exist in the Seattle music scene. I will miss him. I had Shawn write out lyrics to The Day Brings as an anniversary gift to my wife a couple of years ago. That has now become one of our most cherished possessions. I sincerely hope he felt the love we had for him when he was alive, and am happy to see such outpouring of love and respect now that he has passed.
I also can't help but think if he didn't live in this fucked up country with its fucked up health care, that he might have been with us longer. Shawn, as many other talented and underappreciated musicians do, struggled to pay the rent at times, which I'm sure meant sacrificing health care. When you have to choose between food and a roof over your head, or a doctor visit and prescriptions/procedures, you choose food and shelter. Shawn was active in SMASH which is an organization that provides health care assistance to Seattle musicians who can't afford care. Might be a good time to consider supporting SMASH or similar organizations, and also think about your vote in 2020 for candidates who might prioritize improving our abysmal health care system in this country.
Anyway, I am sad beyond words but take comfort in the music he left behind. RIP Shawn.

I just learned of Shawn's untimely passing per Stone's tweet this morning. Very shocked and sad. I had the beautiful pleasure of seeing Brad twice in the past and secretly hoped they would do Ohana Fest one day. RIP Shawn.

Beautiful post.

“Do not postpone happiness”
(Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)
Just as other misinformation spread so soon after his passing (like the whole diabetes thing), he did not pass on 4/5. He was found on 4/5. He was last heard from on 4/2, I believe, and didn't show up to the studio on 4/3 which was not like him.
Saw him play in the UK the day after Chris Cornell died, was magical and I do feel blessed to have been able to see him - his music is beautiful and I'm a little heartbroken to hear the news. Will be spinning The Family later.

Shawn performed in San Francisco with a band named Stenner Glen last September. They played "For So Long" from The Family. I got to thank Shawn for playing that song after the show, as it's one of my favorites. Love that whole album.
