Charlie Colin Dies: Founding Bassist For Rock Band Train Was 58
Charlie Colin, the bassist and founding member of the rock band Train, has died after reportedly slipping in a shower. He was 58.
From Singapore he moved to San Francisco and formed a band called the Apostles, which also included future Train guitarist Jimmy Stafford. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Train enjoyed enormous commercial success, scoring its first Top 20 hit in 1999 with “Meet Virginia,” and, in 2001, the album Drops of Jupiter. Train would reach its hit-making peak in 2009 with “Hey, Soul Sister,” but by that time Colin had left the band: He quit in 2003 due to substance abuse issues.
