(CNN) Adam Schlesinger, the co-founder of pop-rock band Fountains of Wayne and an Oscar-nominated songwriter, has died from complications related to coronavirus. He was 52.

"As many of you are aware, Adam had been hospitalized with Covid-19 and although he had been making some small improvements over the last few days, Adam's condition was critical and he was ultimately unable to recover from Covid-19 complications," read a statement from the band's attorney, provided to CNN. "He was truly a prolific talent and even more so, a loving and devoted father, son and friend."

It added: "We are terribly sorry to convey this loss."

Schlesinger's band, which was co-founded with Chris Collingwood, was best known for its 2003 hit "Stacy's Mom," a humorous track about a young boy who has a crush on his friend's mother. The song was nominated for a Grammy Award.

But Schlesinger had success before that as a songwriter. He co-wrote the title track to the 1996 Tom Hanks film "That Thing You Do," and received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for his work.
