“Jeff was always there for me when we toured and we couldn’t have done it without him,” Brian Wilson said in a statement released by the Rolling Stones. “Jeff was one of the most talented guys I ever knew. He was a great musical leader and guitarist and he could sing like an angel. I first met Jeff in 1976 when he knocked on my door in Bel Air and I invited him in, and we were friends ever since. I don’t know what else to say. Love and Mercy to Jeff’s family and friends, we will remember him forever.”
Foskett was described as the Beach Boys' "vice principal" by its touring members.
