In the “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” Department: a second Jefferson Airplane original member has died. Signe Toly Anderson, who preceded Grace Slick as the band’s singer, died on January 28, 2016… the same day as fellow co-founder of the influential classic rock band, Paul Kantner. According to Best Classic Bands Contributor (and Jefferson Airplane biographer) Jeff Tamarkin she had been sick for some time and had recently entered hospice care. She was 74.
