The guitarist and vocalist, who was a significant part of the California psychedelic rock scene since the band's formation in 1965, was 78 years old. He passed away after a long battle with cancer.

Grateful Dead played a key role in shaping rock music, blending elements of folk and psychedelia. The band has a large following in the U.S. and ceased to exist after the death of its leader Jerry Garcia in 1995.

Despite his illness, Weir continued to perform until 2025. In July, he was diagnosed with cancer, but even during treatment, the musician did not stop performing, as reported on his official website.
