Mon Legaspi, who played bass for legendary rock bands The Dawn and Wolfgang, has died, The Dawn confirmed in a social media post.

Legaspi was 54.

“It is with deep, deep sadness that we announce the untimely passing of our brother Mon Legaspi,” the band wrote late Monday.

He joined our Creator earlier tonight due to cardiac arrest. Mon fought hard in the ICU and we are utterly heartbroken at the loss of a supremely professional musician, and a dear friend. Our sincerest condolences to his family and his brothers in Wolfgang and Kontra.

“We ask respect for the privacy of Mon’s family in this painfully difficult time.

Legaspi gained popularity as a member of Wolfgang, the hard-rocking band that first made waves in the 1990s and composed of vocalist Basti Artadi, guitarist Manuel Legarda, and drummer Wolf Gemora.

Gemora paid tribute to his former bandmate, saying Legaspi’s presence made Wolfgang “finally complete.”

“Mon Legaspi was the fourth bassist of Wolfgang. We had thought we were already complete with the acquisition of our first bassist. Then the next. And the next. But, it was only when Mon joined up that Wolfgang was finally complete,” Gemora wrote on Facebook, where he paid tribute to the writer behind such Wolfgang hits as “Halik ni Hudas”, “Natutulog Kong Mundo”, “Mata ng Diyos”, and “Tulisan”.
