harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted April 19, 2012 Levon Helm has died. . Very sad news for the singing drummer fraternity. That only leaves Stevie G's best mate and Bingo from the Banana Splits. I was going to post The Weight from The Last Waltz, but thought I'd go for a more recent version with Wilco from last year - he's obviously in pain from the throat cancer, but still giving his all. Nice that he allegedly made up with Robbie before he died, hopefully that wasn't just some story for the media. I feel more like pulphack every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted April 7, 2013 Ah, Stiv Bators, someone who should be celebrated here for no other reason than he died one of the most gloriously needless rock 'n' roll deaths ever. Hit by a car, shaken and trying to shrug off the whole thing, insisted on walking home when the wait in A & E was doing his head in, went to sleep....GONE! I mean, Mark Knopfler would've stayed.
