Mason passed away at his home in Nevada following a period of declining health that forced him to cancel his remaining tour dates last summer.

His career spanned over six decades, during which he collaborated with legends such as Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, and Paul McCartney.

Mason's unique blend of rock, folk, and psychedelic influences helped define the sound of the late 1960s and early 70s.
