Oh no, only 46? And like David Bowie and Leonard Cohen, this news comes only a matter of days after the release of Jamiroquai's comeback album (although Toby Smith hasn't been with Jamiroquai since 2002). :\'(
Few people in America know Jamiroquai except for being the band who did "Canned Heat," aka the disco song from Napoleon Dynamite, but they produced a whole bunch of classic soul-infused hits in the UK that provided a fresh alternative to all the synthesized r&b of the day. For a while, I imagined their lead singer was a black woman, faithful to the vocal style of the Motown soul divas from the 70s, so it came as a shock when I learned he was a white man (Jay Kay). Toby Smith was the keyboardist during the group's commercial heyday.

That's the only song of theirs that I know; I remember when it was a hit 20 years ago. (Omgosh, has it been that long already?!)
Anyways, I had no idea that one of the band's members has just died; sorry to see him go. R.I.P Toby :\'(
