Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship co-founder Marty Balin died last Thursday, according to his family. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and Grammy Lifetime Award recipient was 76.

In a statement, Balin's wife said "Marty and I shared the deepest of love—he often called it Nirvana—and it was. But really, we were all touched by his love. His presence will be within my entire being forever."
