The sad news was shard by his 71-year-old brother Verdine White – who was a founder and bassist on Earth, Wind & Fire – on Sunday on social media.
Fred’s cause of death was not disclosed.
The band Earth, Wind & Fire, which thrived during the 1970s and 1980s and continued to tour for decades afterwards, was responsible for the hit songs September, Shining Star and After The Love Is Gone.
Earth, Wind & Fire has sold over 90million records and is considered one of the most successful bands of all time. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

‘Dearest Family Friends and Fans….. Our family is saddened today with the loss of an amazing and talented family member, our beloved brother Frederick Eugene “Freddie” White,’ he wrote.
‘He joins our brothers Maurice, Monte and Ronald in heaven and is now drumming with the angels! Child protégé, member of the EWF ORIGINAL 9, with gold records at the young age of 16 years old! He was brother number 4 in the family lineup,’ it was added.
White was called a ‘wonderful bro’ who was ‘always entertaining and delightfully mischievous!’
A high point: The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000; seen in 1972
Then the note said: ‘And we could always count on him to make a seemingly bad situation more light hearted!’
The musician added: ‘He will live in our hearts forever, rest in power beloved Freddie!! We thank you all for your love, blessings and support at this time. Soar high baby bro, we love you to the shining [stars] and back!’
Fred was born in Chicago and started touring as early as age 15 for a band called The Salty Peppers. The Salty Peppers turned into Earth, Wind & Fire in 1974.
The band had a number of successes in the 1970s and the 1980s with one of their top songs being the up tempo dance hit Shining Star.
The look: Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most dynamic bands to come out of the 1970s as they had several hit songs that included jazz, R&B, soul, funk, disco and pop. The band was founded in Chicago in 1969 by Maurice White. Seen in 1960

Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most dynamic bands to come out of the 1970s as they had several hit songs that included jazz, R&B, soul, funk, disco and pop.
The band was founded in Chicago in 1969 by Maurice White and they went by the name the Salty Peppers; their first hit was La La Time but it was not a chart topper.
But when they moved to Los Angeles he had better luck as he added Sherry Scott and Yackov Ben Israel.
Early days: His pals started the band. From left, Lorry Dunn, Andrew and Philip Bailey in 1972
The self-titled album that came out in 1971 made waves and The Need Of Love came next with a jazzy feel.
In 1972, the founders shook up the band added vocalist Helena Davis, Ronnie Laws on the flute and saxophone, rhythm guitarist Roland Bautista, keyboardist Larry Dunn, vocalist Philip Bailey and percussionist Ralph Johnson to the group. Davis was replaced by Jessica Cleaves.
Then later Andrew stepped in to replace Laws.
The band had a new sound that made it come together.
And it was EW&F’s fourth studio album, Head to the Sky, from 1973 that finally gained some traction.
That’s the Way of the World in 1975 went to No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top Soul Albums charts thanks to the singles Shining Star and That’s the Way of the World.
The band has morphed over the decades with more disco then a mire electric sound. Their last album was The Classic Christmas Album from 2015.

He had talent: The musician was one of the original members of the band and helped them create some of the biggest hit songs of the 1970s, including September, Boogie Wonderland and Shining Star; seen in 1982
With a pal on stage: Andrew, right, with Maurice White, left in 1982
He then said: ‘Funny. Competitive. Quick witted. And always styling. Booski… I’ll see you on the other side, my friend.’
EW&F Drummer John Paris shared on Instagram: ‘Rest well brother Andrew [prayer and heart emojis].’
Woolfolk also worked on the hit songs Reasons, Let’s Groove, That’s the Way of the World, Sing a Song, Fantasy, and After the Love Has Gone.
During his long career, Andrew also collaborated with artists Deniece Williams, Phil Collins and Stanley Turrentine.

Modest Mouse drummer Jeremiah Green dead at 45 from cancer
Modest Mouse drummer and co-founder Jeremiah Green died Saturday following his battle with cancer.
He was 45 years old.
In a statement released by the band, Green had gone to sleep and never woke up.
“I don’t know a way to ease into this: Today we lost our dear friend, Jeremiah,” the band said on Facebook. “He laid down to rest and simply faded out.”
“I’d like to say a bunch of pretty words right now, but it just isn’t the time. These will come later, and from many people. Please appreciate the love you give, get, have given, and will get. Above all, Jeremiah was about love. We love you.”
Green was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, his mother Carol Namatame revealed on Christmas Day.
“It is with a very heavy heart that the Green and Namatame families announce the passing of their husband, father, son and brother, Jeremiah Green,” Namatame said in a post on Facebook.
“Jeremiah was a light to so many. At this time the family is requesting privacy. More information will be forthcoming including a Celebration of Life for friends and fans in the coming months. Jeremiah’s loved ones would like to thank everyone for their continued well wishes and support.”
Green founded Modest Mouse alongside lead singer Issac Brock and bassist Eric Judy in 1992.
He performed with Modest Mouse until 2003, when he opted to leave the band. Green’s hiatus lasted only one year and rejoined his bandmates in 2004.
Following the announcement of his death, tributes from across the music community came pouring in, including a few from former Modest Mouse members.
“The great Jeremiah Green. My friend, bandmate, and the most creative musician I ever met.” tweeted Johnny Marr, The Smiths founder, and former Modest Mouse guitarist.
“Rest In Peace Jeremiah,” said Black Keys’ drummer Patrick Carney
“JG. I love you. Always. Forever.” Former Modest Mouse guitarist Jim Fairchild commented on the band’s Instagram post.
The Hawaii-born drummer had also performed with Satisfact, Red Stars Theory, and Peeved.
Green leaves behind his wife Lauren and their son Wilder.
Jeremiah Green, Modest Mouse Drummer, Dead at 45
Modest Mouse co-founding member and drummer Jeremiah Green has died at the age of 45 following a brief battle with cancer.
The band’s frontman Isaac Brock announced Green’s passing in a Facebook message posted shortly before midnight on New Year’s Eve. “I don’t know a way to ease into this: Today we lost our dear friend Jeremiah. He laid down to rest and simply faded out. I’d like to say a bunch of pretty words right now, but it just isn’t the time. These will come later, and from many people. Please appreciate all the love you give, get, have given, and will get. Above all, Jeremiah was about love.”
Just five days ago, Green’s mother, Carol Namatame, went public with her son’s battle with stage four cancer and asked fans to send “healing vibes.” In a subsequent statement, Brock said Green was “diagnosed with cancer a short while ago, and he’s currently in treatment. It seems to be going smoothly and making a positive difference.”
Green co-founded Modest Mouse alongside frontman Brock and bassist Eric Judy in 1993. Aside from a brief departure from the band between 2003 and 2004, Green had been a consistent presence in the group’s lineup and was its longest tenure member aside from Brock. He appeared on every one of Modest Mouse’s albums, with the exception of Good News for People Who Love Bad News, and also played in bands Red Stars Theory and Vells.
Green had been touring with Modest Mouse as recently as last month as part of the band’s tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of their landmark album, The Lonesome Crowded West.
