Dan ‘Bee’ Spears, Longtime Willie Nelson Bassist, Dies

Dan “Bee” Spears, who played bass in Willie Nelson’s band for more than 40 years, died Thursday night after he fell while exiting his motor home. He apparently died of accidental exposure at his property near Nashville. He was 62. Spears joined Nelson’s band in 1968, when he was just 19 years old. Before hooking up with Nelson, he played with other country heavyweights including Waylon Jennings, Guy Clark and Don Gibson.
