Their music will never be the same again. One of today's most talented drummers, too bad his life was cut short.

RIP. It's weird seeing all these natural deaths of people not even 30.

RIP. It's weird seeing all these natural deaths of people not even 30.

Shitloads of drugs have a tendency to do that to people. Just ask Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, John Belushi etc. al.

I'd be surprised if his death was purely from natural causes and not related to current or past drug abuse. Sad in any case.

Since I found out a few days ago it's all I've been playing in my car. Max volume, of course.
