From RollingStone:
Phelps “Catfish” Collins, the legendary funk guitarist who played with James Brown and Parliament/Funkadelic, died Friday in Cincinnati after a battle with cancer. He was 66. “My world will never be the same without him,” said his brother Bootsy Collins in a statement. “Be happy for him, he certainly is now and always has been the happiest young fellow I ever met on this planet. […] Collins’ death comes just one month after fellow Parliament-Funkadelic guitarist Garry Shider passed away from cancer at 56.”
