James Gray, a long-time member of Canadian band Blue Rodeo, has died at the age of 52 after suffering a heart attack.

A statement at the Blue Rodeo website reads:

We are greatly saddened by the loss of our brother, James Gray. He was in Blue Rodeo for 12 years during which time we made some of our most important music. 



He was a brilliant musician and a kind-hearted soul who had his share of demons but left an indelible stamp on our music, our history and on us as people. 



He will be greatly missed. 



Rest in Peace James.
