Legendary R&B guitarist Phelps "Catfish" Collins passed away last week at his home in Cincinnati, Ohio following a long bout with cancer. Collins played with James Brown along with his brother William "Bootsy" Collins and later the brothers joined Parliament-Funkadelic. Collins was 66 years of age.

Bootsy Collins issued a statement saying that "my world will never be the same" without his brother. "Be happy for him, he certainly is now and always has been the happiest young fellow I ever met on this planet."
