Fountains of Wayne founding member Adam Schlesinger has passed away due to coronavirus complications. He was 52.

According to a statement from his family, the Emmy award-winning singer-songwriter/bassist behind the iconic hits 'That Thing You Do' from the 1996 film of the same name, 'Stacy's Mom,' and the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend soundtrack died at a hospital in New York after two weeks under a ventilator.

Numerous artists inspired and influenced by Schlesinger took to social media to express their grief. One of them being Dashboard Confessional frontman Chris Carrabba, who wrote, "I am grasping for the right words. My dear friend Adam Schlesinger has passed away from COVID-19. You know him best through his music (...) I knew him best as a mentor, and a friend. We must take this seriously. People are sick and dying. It is hard to stay locked indoors but lives will be saved. Take care of each other. Rest In Peace, my dear friend."

Tom Hanks, who directed That Thing You Do! wrote, "There would be no Playtone without Adam Schlesinger, without his That Thing You Do! He was a One-der. Lost him to Covid-19. Terribly sad today."

Acclaimed music producer Jack Antonoff, who's worked with the likes of Taylor Swift, Lorde, and Lana Del Rey shared, "Adam Schlesinger took pop music writing to its classiest and most untouchable place. An honor to live at the same time he made his work."
