Train are mourning the loss of founding member Charlie Colin, following news that the bassist has died aged 58.

“When I met Charlie Colin, front left, I fell in love with him,” the band's frontman Pat Monaghan wrote alongside a photo of the OG band on Instagram on Wednesday (May 22). “He was the sweetest guy and so handsome. Let's make a band that makes the only sense. His unique bass playing and beautiful guitar playing helped people notice us in SF and beyond. I will always have a warm place for him in my heart. I always tried to pull him closer, but he had a vision of his own. You are a legend, Charlie. Go charm the pants off these angels.''

According TMZ, who spoke to the musician's mother, the California musician died after slipping and falling in the shower while house-sitting for a friend in Brussels, Belgium. His mother said it was unclear exactly when Colin died as his body was only found after his friends returned from their trip around five days ago.

Colin reportedly moved to Brussels to teach a music masterclass and was working on new music for a film at the time of his death. Colin has been documenting his time abroad on social media, where he declared that the city was “officially his [his] beloved city” in a March Instagram Position.
