The band's founder, Gerald Casale, wrote that his brother Bob died suddenly on Monday (Feb.17) from heart failure. According to Gerald, Bob's death was a total shock to everyone, and he noted that his brother was excited about the possibility of band co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh "allowing Devo to play shows again."

A lot of people walking around with "time bombs" in their chest. It's too bad. They might have been able to "fix/control" his issue with medications. Of course,most people don't see a cardiologist for the hell of it.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

R.I.P. Bob Casale.

Devo got unfairly labelled as a joke band because of Whip It. And Devo became a shorthand way of insulting punk rock kids. But a truly great band. My wife had the Astronauts play a Devo medley at our wedding.

Here's a great tribute by a friend I played with many times:
