Huge loss. An outstanding musician and just an incredible song writer. The music world is a less interesting place without his genius.

This is tragic and so very sad
He was pop when I was looking for loud. I seized on loud but overlooked pop at the time. (I have regrets). Only later did I realize pop and loud can coexist. RIP Dude.

Radiation Vibe is one of my all time favorites. What a loss.
I’m so devastated by this
😭 breaks my heart to hear that. 🎶 Radiation Vibe 🎶 was one of my songs back in the day.
That blows.
So sad.
Shit, I'm gutted. 'Hey Julie' was my song. 😔
Utterly heartbroken. The greatest pop songwriter, storyteller and witty social observer of his generation. And he was just getting better and better at it. Fountains of Wayne meant, and mean, a huge amount to me. So, so cruel.
DrakeBell Fuck
Damn
May AdamSchlesinger Rest In Peace. 🙏🏻 Praying for his friends and family to find peace. fountainsofwayne

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your friend Adam. May he rest in peace.
Rest In Peace Adam Schlesinger!
Can we finally make Troubled Times the massive hit it should have been?
I know many people r dying from this pandemic. I LOVE Fountains of Wayne. My daughter & I play mahjong & EVERY time one of us lays down a red dragon title, we sing and/or play 'Red Dragon Tattoo' EVERYTIME! It's the perfect power pop tune. This one hurts...
And RIP to Adam😔
Awful. 😥

💔 my Fountains Of Wayne CDs were in my 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ when stolen last week because they were the ones I bought on road trips because they brought me dashboard pounding sing along joy. Adam was a massive talent, a great loss and leaves us bittersweetly unfinished 😭😭😭
You and your gifts will be missed, Adam. You brought joy to many with both. Baruch dayan ha'emet.
A wonderful band, criminally underappreciated
RIP 😢
This virus fucking sucks. Rip.
one of my top 10 bands of all time and one of the greatest songwriters. This is truly tragic. 😔

My wife & I met Adam many years ago after a show on LI. He was very cool & kind to us. His music was very inspiring to me and my bandmates. A huge loss. Rest in peace.
this sucks
I have no words.
Oh no. 😔
Radiation Vibe was an absolute banger. RIP
soledadobrien Aw man... Austin Edwards introduced me to Fountains of Wayne and their first self titled album when we were about 15 and I wore that album out, along with their subsequent albums. RIP
nahhhh this has gone too far
RIP

omg nooo... 😭💔
We basically covered the whole Interstate managers record one night live.... sad news fir sure
IndieAlpaca This virus has gone too far. This is getting out of hand. Guess I know what I’m listening to all day tomorrow.
That’s terrible. I love Fountains of Wayne.
stacys mom has forever got it going on. rip
The fucking Fountains of Wayne?!
Not gonna lie, THIS is the death that got me. Fountains of Wayne had a handful of my favorite songs, and less than a year ago I realized he was a lyricist for another handful. I’ll miss this talented man
'Utopia Parkway' is still one of my favorites when I need a mood boost. This is sad. So young with so much more greatness in him.
I always loved “That Thing You Do” and all the music in the film “Music & Lyrics” He was such a talent! RIPAdamSchlesinger 😢🙏🏻
Oh, no. 😞
Complications ? What else was wrong with him? I think that matters too...
LesBowen 🙏🙏
This sucks.
Fountains of Wayne self titled album was a staple for me in the late 90s. RIP
Welcome Interstate Managers is a masterpiece
Stacey's Mom is left all alone... he was a very cool guy. RIP Adam.
This one really hurt. I spent most of my 15-18 year old life listening to FOW. He was my favorite because he interacted with me at my first two concert experiences and seemed so nice and genuine in his audience interactions. Rest In Peace ✨
Valley Winter Song is such a great tune. He wrote so many.
