Rock icon Leslie West, guitarist and co-founder of the band Mountain best known for the band's hit "Mississippi Queen," died on Wednesday at the age of 75, CBS News has confirmed. West had gone into cardiac arrest on Monday and never regained consciousness while in the hospital, according to Rolling Stone.

"The iconic guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and storyteller has left a legacy that to this day is celebrated by peers and fans across The World," publicist Steve Karas said in the release. "From 1964 through today, few artists have left a more significant mark on music as we know it. Guitarists across the globe together will unite in sadness as The World says goodbye to a true original."
