Since then the band has had different bassists such as Jason Newsted and Robert Trujillo, but it is normal for many fans to wonder what it would be like if Cliff were still in the quartet, as he was known for his talent and vital contributions to the band.
Taking advantage of the fever of the FaceApp app, which shows you what it will look like when you are old, group followers took a photo of the band and applied a montage with the late bassist, giving an idea of what the group would look like today if they still had it.
