At the time, the band featured Jayne, Ivan Berko on bass, Zeke Howard on drums, Andy Macleod on guitar and Robbie Lee on keyboards.[3] Jayne was found dead on December 15, 2020, at the age of 46.[4]

Sam Jayne's Death

Sam Jayne was found unresponsive lying in the back of his car by New York City Police Department about a week after he was reported missing. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Preliminary research from NYPD showed no “signs of criminality.” His family confirmed that his cause of death was a result of heart-related, “undiagnosed health conditions,” and that he died peacefully while curled up in his car the night before a planned cross-country drive to visit friends around the holidays.[5]
