He was 61.Roback and Hope Sandoval formed Mazzy Star in Santa Monica in 1989 after another group he had co-founded, Opal, broke apart.

. “You have to leave something to people’s imagination, so they feel they can participate. Music is music. We don’t want to be part of that over-determination. We feel you should be able to shut your eyes and listen to it.”
For those people asking 'who', go Google and listen. You won't ask 'who' again. RIP Genius.
