Three Dog Night split up in 1976, reunited in 1981 and then Negron left the group for good in 1985 due to his struggles with drug addiction.
“I received the news today that my former bandmate from Three Dog Night, Chuck Negron, passed away peacefully at his home,” Hutton wrote in a message posted along with a photo of an empty stage bathed in purple lights with the Three Dog Night logo.
“When Chuck left the band 40 years ago, we rarely spoke and lost touch for much of that time. Five months ago, his wife Ami called to tell me he was very sick, and I decided I should go see him.
“When I arrived at his house, we hugged, cried, reminisced, and shared many stories. In that moment, we realized how much time had been lost by not being in each other’s lives. It was a beautiful and deeply meaningful reunion.
“Besides being a phenomenal singer, Chuck was a good college basketball player and had a great sense of humor.
“I will always be grateful for the music we made together,” Hutton added.
