Dave Sweetapple has sadly passed away at 58 years old. Sweetapple was best known as the bassist for the band Witch, but also played in the band Eerie as well as his own project Sweet Apple.
Tributes have been pouring in for Sweetapple, such as this touching one from the folks over at Roadburn: "Dave Sweetapple left an indelible mark on the lives of many, many people and will be sorely missed. Not only was he a talented musician himself but he also nurtured creativity in others, as a mentor, facilitator, and guide.
"His companionable manner and effervescent mischievousness marked him out as a one-off. He was a confidante, a supreme storyteller, a collaborator, and – most of all – a friend to us. Thank you for the good times, Dave, we couldn’t forget you if we tried."
We extend our condolences to Sweetapple's friends and family at this time.
