Brad is the other band for Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam. Smith was also a member of Pigeonhed and Satchel.

Gossard said, “My dear friend Shawn passed quietly/peacefully in his sleep. Our deepest condolences and love to his family, close friends, and the thousands that were touched by his one-of-kind voice and his beautiful breaking heart … I love you, Shawn Smith”.

Shawn’s mother Ilene said in a Facebook post that her son died of a torn aorta and high blood pressure.
