Too true!

I hadn't heard until now, but it was right here in town, too.

The trio reunited. Rest in peace, Mitch.

he was a fukin AMAZING drummer, him, reading and henrix were a truly AWESOME trio. R.I.P.

man this is soooo sad,,last appearance was ,what a couple of years ago on some awards ceremony when he teamed up with slash to do a version of hey joe in tribute to hendrix, damm ,damm fine drummer who hendrix knew he had to go back to at the end of his career and indeed what a life... r.i.p.

ill see you in the next world and dont be late

Great timing!! True jazz style.

Though I must ask a question that may seem tasteless.

Why am I surprised when a rock musician dies at an older age or dies of natural causes?
