His name was Holmes Sterling Morrison Junior. Two days after turning fifty, Sister Death took him away with the help of Brother Cancer, in Poughkeepsie (pronunciation: /pəˈkɪpsi/ pə-KIP-see), the county seat of Dutchess County in the State of New York, U.S.A.
Also, but not solely because of this, the Velvet Underground definitively closed their doors in the mid-'90s, after briefly reuniting in 1992 and even serving as a supporting band for U2...
Morrison was a founding member and guitarist (often replacing John Davies Cale on bass when he played the viola or piano) of the VU until '71, the year he embarked on a career as a teacher of "Medieval Literature" at the "University of Texas at Austin."
Later, in the '80s, he left his university career to become, ehm, a Captain of a tugboat, but that's another story, ça va sans dire...
