It was a natural decline over the past week.
Overall it was due to complications from his stroke.
In 2012, Dunlap, who played guitar withthe Replacementsfrom 1987 to 1991, suffered a severe stroke.
During this time, Dunlap grew into a beloved figure in the Minnesota music scene.
After the band split up in 1991, Dunlap released two solo albums.
The year after, the Replacements reunited to releaseSongs for Slim, a five-song benefit EP for the guitarist.
We were talking to Slim when he was in the hospital.
And I was like, Should we play?
And he said, Yeah, play.
