Some sad news today as Kool & The Gang trombonist Clifford Adams has passed away. The late Adams was 62 years old and had been suffering from liver cancer for about a year. Problems worsened as Clifford, unfortunately, did not have medical insurance and while attempts were made to raise funds for a transplant, sadly, it was too late. Adams was best known for his work with Kool & The Gang, various collaborations and two solo studio albums, The Master Power and I Feel Your Spirit.

Rest in peace Clifford.
