Richard Swift Dies; Musician Was 41 Years Old
Richard Swift, a musician best known for playing with the Shins, Black Keys, and the Arcs, passed away on Tuesday morning, his representative has confirmed.
He was 41 years old.
This sad piece of news was confirmed to Pitchfork, which writes that Swift died in Tacoma, Washington several hours ago.
Swift had been suffering from an undisclosed “life-threatening condition,” insiders have reported, as a GoFundMe was launched last month to pay for his medical expenses.
The musician was also a solo artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist.
He played with the Shins from 2011–2016; was a touring bassist for the Black Keys in 2014; a drummer for Dan Auerbach’s side project the Arcs; and a keyboardist for Starflyer 59.
Swift’s extensive resume included work with Sharon Van Etten, Guster, Foxygen and others from across various genres.
“Today the world lost one of the most talented musicians I know,” Auerbach wrote on Instagram.
As you can see above, a post on Swift’s Facebook page reads as follows:
“And all the angels sing ‘Que Sera Sera.’”
In just 13 days las month, the aforementioned GoFundMe campaign raised over $ 87,000.
This is what it stated at the time:
“Dear friends of Swift, Richard needs your love and support now as he is up against some tough odds. He has been hospitalized due to a serious medical condition.
“He is receiving excellent care in Tacoma Washington and everything is being done to allow his body time to repair and heal.
“He is uninsured and the cost of the care he is getting is a lot. If you can afford to share the weight of this burden, it would be most deeply appreciated. Anything helps.
“Mostly, thank you for supporting our beloved Richard and his family.”
In an update just a few days later, Swift was seemingly doing a lot better.
Read this update:
“Thank you so much for your support, friends!! We are so grateful you have extended so much generosity and love to our beloved Swift.
“He has been making some progress the last two days and Drs are impressed with the way be has been responding to the care he’s been getting.
“I wanted to let you know I have set up your donations to go directly into Richard’s bank account so that bills can be paid and expenses met while he is staying in the hospital.”
Concluded this post:
“I will continue to post updates here. Thank you again for all your donations!! This campaign will not only help pay medical bills, your kind words and hope are very encouraging.
“It means the world to the whole family.”
Tragically, it’s now evident that Swift never did recover from this illness.
May he rest in peace.

Jenelle Evans" Son Says What We"re All Thinking: She"s a Piece of Sh-t!
Jenelle Evans doesn"t have much competition for the esteemed title of Worst Mother in the History of Reality Television.
And now, it seems even her own offspring agree that Jenelle really doesn"t have much business raising children.
The Carolina Hurricane keeps finding new and creative ways to hit rock bottom this season, and viewers are more disgusted by her behavior than ever.
Last week, we learned that CPS has been called to Jenelle"s house an astonishing 20 times in less than a year.
And this week, we learned that at 8 years old, her eldest son Jace already recognizes that Jenelle isn"t much for this whole "being a parent" thing.
1. Secondary Mother
Jace is Jenelle’s first child, but since infancy, he’s been in the custody of her mother, the infamous Barbara Evans.
2. The Never-Ending Battle
Jenelle has made several efforts to regain custody over the years, but after the current season of Teen Mom 2, it seems more certain than ever that Jace will reside with Babs until he leaves for college.
3. A Low Point
Last week, we saw Jenelle receive a visit from her local sheriff. He had been called to the home to perform a wellness check on Jenelle and David’s kids, but the couple refused to allow him inside the house.
4. An Ugly Scene
Jenelle stated that it was the twentieth time the authorities had been called to her home in the past year. Viewers noted that more than a dozen prescription bottles were placed where they could be reached by children.
5. The Terrible Twosome
Fans probably didn’t think they could come away with a much lower opinion of Jenelle and David’s parenting after last week’s episode. Of course, Evans and Eason were quick to prove them wrong…
6. A Tense Stand-Off
When Jenelle dropped Jace off after he spent the weekend with her and David, she quickly gave Babs the brush-off. The reason, as it turns out, is that the visit did NOT go smoothly …
