Andy Hummel, the original bass player for Big Star, died Monday in his Texas home from cancer complications at the age of 59.

Hummel was part of the band’s original success in the 70′s but decided not to rejoin the band when they regrouped in 1993.

Hummel played with the band for the first time in 35 years back in March at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.

Big Star lost their lead singer back in March when Alex Chilton passed away, as well at 59.
