What happened to John Regan?

John Regan, American songwriter, and bassist who was a former member of Frehley’s Comet band. He was reported dead by his wife. His cause of death was not announced. According to his wife, Cathy, he died suddenly.

“It is with the greatest sorrow and sadness that I let you all know that John passed away this afternoon. So many people have posted messages of love and condolences on his phone. I am trying to figure out how to post on any of his fb pages. I appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers. One of his favorite quotes, ‘All that you can take with you is that which you’ve given away.’ From reading your messages, I know he gave much away and so much love was sent to him. He passed away suddenly, but that was his wish,” she wrote in a social media post.

He was 71 years old at the time of death. He was also notable for being a collaborator of Peter Frampton and performed with him from 1979 to 2011.

“There might only be a handful, if that, of people who come into your world and truly enrich your life. I have lost one of my closest buddies. He certainly enriched my life because of the person and the great player he was. John Regan was the best of us. He went out of his way to help people when things weren’t right. It didn’t matter who you were, prince or pauper. I know there are so many of you out there who knew him. He was a friend to all. Always musically inspiring and one of the funniest people on the planet. His wife, Cathy, his children Christopher and Jeness, and his grandchildren. I love you, my brother. You will be missed by so many. Rest in peace,” John Frampton posted on Twitter
