Big Star bass player Andy Hummel has died at the age of 59. Cause of death was cancer. Hummel formed the band with Alex Chilton, Chris Bell and Jody Stephens. It’s been a rough year for Big Star - Chilton died in March.

Chris Bell died in 1978. Stephens is the only surviving member of one of rock’s most influential bands.

While recording Big Star’s debut album, guitarist Bell and Andy shot this 16mm footage.
