Young had been suffering from dementia for several years and it appears the condition contributed to his death. The band says Malcolm died Saturday peacefully with his family by his bedside.

The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
Malcolm was replaced in 2014 by his nephew Stevie Young … this after his health began to deteriorate.
He’s survived by his wife, 2 kids and 3 grandchildren.
