After Bradley Nowell’s death in 1996, he never saw the success of Sublime’s final album, which has since been listed as one of the most well-regarded albums of the 1990s by Spin and Rolling Stone. Dying two months before its release, Nowell left behind a son and longtime girlfriend / new wife Troy Dendekker, AKA Mama Troy.
