“Rock Legend Animal Dies Aged 66” – Too Soon?

This is another one of those DAMMIT-why-didn’t-I-think-of-that moments. This comes from Waterford Whispers News and provides a little levity to the gloom we’ve all experienced over the last couple of months when it comes to dying musicians.

TRIBUTES have been flooding in from all across the world following the death of Animal, the legendary drummer with rock outfit Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem.

Fans of the supergroup were shocked to learn of the passing of the iconic percussionist, who passed away at just 66 following a short illness. Remaining band members Dr. Teeth, Janice, Zoot and Floyd Pepper took to the group’s Facebook fan page to announce the sad news earlier today.

“You kept rocking ’til the very end. Be at peace now, and we’ll play again in that great muppet theatre in the sky”.
