Interesting that this was first posted in the thread about guys not famous to get their own threads, and now he has two threads just for him.

Not familiar with him or Mr. Big outside of their name, but that's really sad.  :-\

I saw him back in the day for the Lean Into It tour. He is always the one I point out that made an enjoyable drum solo. He did a rendition of Yesterday by the Beatles, just vocals and drums.

So weird, I had initially put 64 in the thread title, and then edited it when I looked at the URL.

Such a shame. Seems to have been a good guy and certainly a talented bloke.

I know he has had Parkinsons Disease the last few years - awful disease.

Great drummer from the school of economic playing. I'll miss him. R.I.P.
