Jack is believed to have died on August 18, but the news wasn’t made public until last night.
Sherman replaced Hillel Slovak on the 1983 debut album and the subsequent Freaky Styley, but was replaced by Slovak before the latter album was released.
To many fans of Red Hot Chili Peppers he is considered essential member of the band, despite his short tenure with the rock group.
But he was not included when the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
At the time, he told Billboard: “I’m being dishonoured, and it sucks.”
Sherman also played with Tonio K.’s Notes from the Lost Civilization, Bob Dylan’s Knocked Out Loaded plus George Clinton and Feargal Sharkey albums.
