Garth Hudson, the keyboardist and multi-instrumentalist who was the last surviving member of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members The Band, has died, his manager confirmed to ABC News. He was 87.

Hudson died in his sleep early Tuesday at a nursing home near Woodstock, New York, according to his manager.

"Today, we sadly say goodbye to Garth 'Honey Boy' Hudson, the last living original member of The Band," said a statement on The Band's official Instagram page. "A musical genius and cornerstone of the group’s timeless sound, Garth once said, 'I found some true enjoyment in helping people get to the bottom of their feelings.' Through his music, he did just that – helping us all feel more deeply and connect to something greater. Rest easy, Garth."
