Alvin Deguzman, long-time bassist of The Icarus Line, has died. He had been battling a rare form of cancer (mesenchymal chondrosarcoma), and finally lost the fight a few hours ago. As someone who has met him several times over the years, I am genuinely saddened by his passing. He was a “cool dude”.
May you rest in peace, old friend. Goodbye, and God bless…
Very sad news…Though I never met him, I got to see him play with the Icarus Line back in 2004. It’s funny how a lot of fans of the band look back on those years as their best because of Aaron North…But anyone who saw them live around that time knew it was Alvin that held down all the guitar parts…Such an amazing musician…
