Hope Sandoval remembers David Roback in a new Facebook post. Roback recently passed away at age 61 to the dismay and sadness of fans everywhere. The talented producer and multi-instrumentalist was central to the revival of the neo-psychedelic music scene before joining forces with Sandoval in the late 80s to start the well-renowned band Mazzy Star.

In a recent Facebook post, Sandoval described her heartbreak and torment at losing her bandmate and dear friend in a touching attribute to his memory.
