Devo seeking donations to help family of late guitarist Bob Casale

Devo founding member Bob Casale sadly passed away last month, with the band now seeking help from fans to aid his financially-insecure family.

“This has hit the Casales hard. We are doing everything we can as friends of the family to soften the impact of Bob’s untimely death,” a statement from the group reads.

“These expenses are not limited to funeral expenses, but also include recent medical/hospital bills, and for the general family expenses in the absence of Bob.”

Casale performed on every Devo record from their debut in 1978 to 2010′s Something for Everybody. He passed away due to “conditions that lead to heart failure” at the age of 61.
