Joshua Webb, a musician best known for his contribution to Ledisi's Pieces of Me release, was killed in a car wreck at the age of 27 on May 11. Webb was with his cousin in Atlanta when the pair were struck by a tractor trailer.

Webb's cousin, Broderick Young, sustained a spinal cord injury and broken leg, while Webb was declared dead on the scene, according to Spinner.com.

"When u hear the piano part on Bravo that's Josh Webb R.I.P." Ledisi tweeted yesterday on hearing the news. "Mylove& prayers 2 The Webb Family."

Young also spoke about Webb's broadening career, noting:

"He was branching out. He'd always played for different churches, but Jon Jon wanted him to branch out and do tours and work for other artists. This (Ledisi) was the first time and he got a Grammy nomination. That's was all he really wanted."
