**Tragic Loss: Sixpence None The Richer Bassist Justin Cary Passes Away at 50**

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Justin Cary, the talented bassist of the beloved alt-pop band Sixpence None The Richer, has passed away at the age of 50. Cary suffered a stroke last week, leading to a wave of support from fans and friends alike. Bandmate Leigh Nash took to Instagram earlier this week to share the devastating news and to promote a GoFundMe campaign aimed at helping Cary and his wife, Linda, during this challenging time.

In a recent update, Linda Cary announced that her husband had peacefully departed this world, leaving behind a legacy of music and cherished memories. Justin Cary was not only a prominent figure in the band, known for hits like “Kiss Me” and “There She Goes,” but also a beloved member of the music community. His contributions to the band and the alt-pop genre will be dearly missed.

As fans remember Cary’s vibrant spirit and musical talent, the outpouring of love and support serves as a testament to his impact on those around him. Our thoughts are with Linda and the entire Sixpence None The Richer family during this incredibly tough time.
