From The Examiner:
Original P-Funk Guitarist vocalist and Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer Garry “Diaper Man” AKA “Starchild” Shider passed away of cancer today (June 16th), a little over one month shy of what would have been the artist’s 57th birthday.
Shider was an original member of Parliment / Funkadelic and was recently seen on the 2010 P-Funk Tour.
