Train's official Instagram account shared a touching tribute to Colin on Wednesday. "He was THE sweetest guy and what a handsome chap," the caption reads. "His unique bass playing and beautiful guitar work helped get folks to notice us in SF and beyond. I’ll 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’re a legend, Charlie. Go charm the pants off those angels."

Representatives for Colin did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for comment.

The bass player is best known for being one of the original members of the Grammy-winning San Francisco rock band, but he left in 2003. He had since moved to Brussels to teach a music master class at a conservatory. He was also working at a studio and making music for a movie.
