Unfortunately, Blowfly, aka Clarence Reid, has passed away. Reid died Sunday after a short battle with liver cancer. You can read a message from Blowfly's manager and guitarist, Tom Broker, below.
Clarence Reid, the genius known both by his given name and as Blowfly, the Master of Class, passed peacefully today in his hospice room. His sister Virginia and I thank you for all the love you have shown this week. We also thank you for supporting Clarence's 50 + year music career - especially these last few years. We love you and will keep you informed on services and tribute performances in Clarence's honor.
Nothing But Love,
Tom
