On Monday December 14th, The Cardinals lost their bassist Chris “Spacewolf” Feinstein at his Manhattan apartment. The cause of his death is still unknown. Ryan Adams announced his retirement earlier this year, thereby putting The Cardinals on indefinite hiatus.
Often announced by Ryan from stage as “A Pro Rock Band”, Feinstein and drummer Brad Pemberton were the heartbeat of The Cardinals. Pemberton, one of the only Cardinals to speak out on his death so far, was emotional :
“This is the saddest day of my life. I lost my best friend today … things will never be quite the same.”

Indeed there is a huge hole to fill. I wish Chris’ family and friends all the best in this extremely difficult time.
Rage it cosmic style, Spacewolf.
