Karl Mueller (July 27, 1963 – June 17, 2005) was an American rock musician. He was the bass guitarist and a founding member of the Minneapolis alternative rock band Soul Asylum.
In May 2004, Mueller was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and a benefit concert was held to help him with his medical bills. In September of that year, Grant Hart and Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü reunited for the first time in 17 years at the Rock for Karl benefit in Minneapolis.
As of 2020, Mueller is still credited as a member on their Facebook page as a tribute.
Posthumous
In July 2006, Soul Asylum released The Silver Lining, a studio album featuring Mueller's last work.
Mueller was also pictured on the cover of the EP Clam Dip & Other Delights, released on April 14, 1989.
