He passed away February 18th, just a few days ago, at the age of 52. Here is what his old band mates, the B-52s, wrote on facebook:
Our friend, keyboard player and guitarist, bandmate and brother, Paul Gordon passed away peacefully today and our hearts are broken. Words can't express all the feelings we share as we remember his generous spirit, kindness and talent. He was and always will be a part of our B-52s family and we will miss him so much. We send our love to his family.
