"Natasha Schneider, musician extraordinaire, former actress, singer of the ground-breaking band ELEVEN, and one-time QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE keyboard player, died today at 11:11am of cancer. She was a brilliant, beautiful, and ballsy woman who will be missed deeply by all those who knew her. Send your loving thoughts her way in the universe."

Such a shame. She was still relatively young.

and since she wasn't a superstart rockstar and didn't live in the bullshit of celebrity, no one will bother to notice. Left-handed bass- that's too badass to ignore.

R.I.P. Natasha Shneider.

I listened to "Nenada" today in honor of her.

Far too soon for her to go. She was a beautiful and very talented woman, and certainly added something to QOTSA when she toured with them. Her backing vocals were a welcome addition to my ears.

2008 has been a rough year for entertainment.

God that's a real shock, I love her voice, her vocals on Desert Sessions were awesome. Sad indeed.
