Seems John and Andy Taylor are the next ones to go then.... :-/

Sad. He was a hell of a drummer.

The King of the '80s gated drum sound -- RIP.

This was unexpected to hear that one of the idols of my youth has passed. On the bright side, the rhythm section of Tony and Bernie are now reunited in heaven and probably laying down one ideal groove. Let the funk party begin. This being said, I do hope that Nile lives many more years before joining his compadres.

I know we often disagree, Bahtology, but I'm with you on all points here 100%.

Very sad, only 48. Here's a good obit:

I didn't know he recorded with Zep. As usual, a drag that he didn't have insurance.
