US rock band Train have paid tribute to their founding member Charlie Colin, after his death aged 58, calling him “the sweetest guy”.

His sister confirmed the bass player’s death to the The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The cause of his death is unconfirmed, but his mother reportedly told US website TMZ he died after slipping in the shower, while house-sitting for a friend in Brussels.

The band formed in San Francisco in 1993, and enjoyed one of their biggest hits eight years later, with Drops of Jupiter.

    That is sad and anxiety inducing. Just doing everyday stuff.

    Sorry for his family and friends.

      Reminds me of Trevor Moore. I’ve never slipped in the shower but I had a ladder collapse under me so that one really hit home

        To be fair Trevor died from sucking his own dick. Lot different then slipping in a shower. I mean that can happen to anyone. But sucking your own dick to your death that hardcore.
