In 2000, the band were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and Maurice White was individually inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in 2010.
Speaking of his brother's death, Verdine White said, "My brother, hero and best friend Maurice White passed away peacefully last night in his sleep. While the world has lost another great musician and legend, our family asks that our privacy is respected as we start what will be a very difficult and life changing transition in our lives. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes."
