After the 47-year-old percussionist and his son failed to return from their trip Thursday afternoon, the Benton County Sheriff’s Office launched a search for the missing father and son.
Officials found a coat and two kayaks in the water but no signs of Morris or Charlie, the station reported.

The band announced Tuesday on Twitter that the search for the 47-year-old percussionist and his son has moved to a recovery.
"We were all hoping for a miracle, but at this point, the search for Chuck & Charley has moved to a recovery," the band tweeted. "With help from K9 teams, there is a probable location on the lake, but logistical challenges including temp, weather, and depth have prevented a recovery thus far."
It’s unknown how long the recovery efforts will take, the band said.
"It’s just something you never expect to hear," bandmate Luke Miller told the station. "We all hope for the best, but it didn’t work out."

Miller said that while the band may need a break following the incident, they will keep playing in honor of Morris.
