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. On his Facebook page, group co-founder Marty Balin wrote: SIGNE “One sweet Lady has passed on. I imagine that she and Paul woke up in heaven and said “Hey what are you doing here?
