CHARLIE Colin, one of the founding members of the ’90s pop rock band Train, has died suddenly at the age of 58.
The musician’s mother revealed Charlie died after he slipped and fell in the shower.
Charlie was house-sitting for a friend in Brussels, Belgium, at the time of the incident, which is currently unknown.
The bass player was found nearly five days later when the friends returned home from their trip.
Charlie formed the pop band in 1993 alongside Pat Monahan, Scott Underwood, Rob Hotchkiss, and Jimmy Stafford.
Train became known for numerous hits such as Drops of Jupiter, Careless Whisperer, and Hey, Soul Sister.
The band reached No. 6. on the Billboard 200 list for Drops of Jupiter, which also went on to win two Grammy Awards in 2002.
In 2003, Charlie was given an ultimatum for his substance abuse and was ultimately forced to leave the band.
“I had a really great run, but it was difficult,” Colin previously told Los Angeles Times about his time with the band.
Fans of Charlie and the band have since been offering their condolences for his family.
“Damn, that’s sad. Train had some great hits. RIP Charlie Colin,” one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“Sending my condolences to his friends and family very sad,” tweeted a second.
“My sincere condolences on the passing of Charlie Colin,” a third said.
