RIP Dale Griffin

[happypig]

Mott the Hoople drummer died today aged 67

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Is this the worst year yet for rock stars?

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Not a good year for us old dudes

 

[catfish]

What an under rated band they were too. RIP.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Ffs mortality, give it a rest.

 

[Trufflehound]

Not just Mott the Hoople's drummer. He later worked at the BBC and was responsible for producing most John Peel sessions throughout the 1980s and early '90s.

RIP

So sad. He had alzheimers and was the same age my mum was when she died of dementia

 

[Weatherman]

And All The Young Dudes was by Bowie

 

[Norman Potting]

Not a good year for us old dudes

See what you did there. Good band, not as well remembered as others from that era though. Sad that a member has to pass away to remind people of their existence and contribution to music.

Definitely the worst month i reckon, especially if you add Alan Rickman as well.

Saw the last Mott gig at the O2 with my son a couple of years ago. Still love Ian Hunter who at 75 is still making great albums and still great to see live.
