GARCIA REMEMBERED IN NEW BIOPIC

Late musician JERRY GARCIA will be remembered in a forthcoming film about his rise to fame before becoming the legendary frontman of the GRATEFUL DEAD.
Garcia - who formed the psychedelic rock band in 1965 - served as lead guitarist and vocalist of the group before his tragic death at age 53.
Struggling with heroin addiction, Garcia was residing in a drug rehabilitation facility when he died of a heart attack in August 1995.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, a group of film producers has acquired the movie rights to Dark Star, an oral history of Garcia’s life.
A production schedule for the project has yet to be released.
