Founding Grateful Dead member Bob Weir died on January 10, 2026, at the age of 78, following bassist Phil Lesh, who died in 2024; singer/guitarist Jerry Garcia, who passed in 1995; and keyboardist, singer and instrumentalist Ronald “Pigpen” McKernan, who died in 1973.
Though the band has had many additional members and split off into many side groups through the years, only two members of the classic lineup of the Grateful Dead are still alive today.
