Fletch, the businessman of the band. I wonder what the cause of death will be.
I get to see his old friend and DJ tomorrow that made DM so popular on the west coast, Richard Blade. He is hosting a two day 80s concert in Catalina.

They didnt say a cause, but 60 is way too early to go....I have a few of their old lp's ill have to dig out this weekend for a spin.
 
Not anyone famous but way too young. A local cop I used to work with died of a heart attack a couple of days ago at about 50 years old and was in good shape

I was a metal guy in the 80s, but a hippy coworker gave me a Yes ‘album’ back then and I thank him for it. I really like their music, even during those days and it was do to that album. I shared my Anthrax tapes with him which he liked better than Metallica. :D

When the anthrax crap was going on in 2001, some rockhead in the media asked the lead singer of Anthrax if they were going to change their name. He said "Yes, we going to change our name to 'Basket Full of Puppies' ".

Sorry to hear about Alan White. Still listen to Yessongs all the time.

That would have been John Bush who was from a Armored Saint. Or it was Scott Ian the founder.

Sorry - been working on my boat trailer all day. It was Close to the Edge IIRC. I just sold it to an album collection store a few years ago.
 
Hmmm, I wonder if Moose and Ferguson had taken the ……………………,vaccines? Shhhhh!

Seriously. 26 year old athlete dies of “natural causes”. That’s bs.

Siragusa dies in his sleep at age 55? No warnings? Had he been getting treatment for anything?

Hmmmm.
