Adam Schlesinger, the co-founder of pop-rock band Fountains of Wayne and an Oscar-nominated songwriter, has died from complications related to coronavirus. He was 52.
"As many of you are aware, Adam had been hospitalized with Covid-19 and although he had been making some small improvements over the last few days, Adam's condition was critical and he was ultimately unable to recover from Covid-19 complications," read a statement from the band's attorney, provided to CNN."He was truly a prolific talent and even more so, a loving and devoted father, son and friend." It added:"We are terribly sorry to convey this loss.
So sorry to your family
Sad😐
Fountains of Wayne was one of my favorite bands, and had no idea how prolific Adam Schlesinger was as a songwriter. It’s such a shame that he was lost at so Young an age. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans.
So sad. He was a brilliant musician..just playing 'sink to the bottom with you' 'radiation vibration' 'that thing you do'..RIP. saw fountains in Chicago. Great memories.
