The bass player’s death was confirmed to Variety by Colin’s sister.
Train, best known for hits Hey Soul Sister, Calling All Angels, Drops of Jupiter and Driveby, have since released a statement remembering Colin.
“When I met Charlie Colin, front left, I fell in love with him. He was THE sweetest guy and what a handsome chap. Let’s make a band that’s the only reasonable thing to do,” the group said on Instagram.
“His unique bass playing and beautiful guitar work helped get folks to notice us in SF and beyond. I’ll always have a warm place for him in my heart.
“I always tried to pull him closer but he had a vision of his own. You’re a legend, Charlie. Go charm the pants off those angels.”
Colin’s mother shared the details of Colin’s apparent accident with TMZ.
It is unclear when the fall occurred.
According to his mother, Colin was in Brussels to attend a music masterclass while working at a music studio.
Colin founded Train in the mid-1990s with Pat Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Scott Underwood and Jimmy Stafford.
Colin played bass on the first three Train albums.
The group went on to win a Grammy for Best Rock Song and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist in 2001 for Drops of Jupiter.
Since his departure in 2003 he has worked with several hard rock bands including Slipknot and Puddle of Mudd.
