Bit dodgy all round since he was banged up for sexually assaulting a vulnerable young man who came to him for drum lessons. Explains some of the terse obits. This MSN report includes a statement from KK Downing which pretty much confirms Holland's demise, so apparently not a hoax. Quote "It is with deep regret that I have to accept the sudden and unexpected news that Dave Holland has passed away. Dave was a solid friend in life and solid musician both on the stage and in the studio," wrote former Priest guitarist K.K. Downing on Facebook. "I will cherish the many gigs we played together and the albums that we made and I will always be grateful to the indelible contribution that Dave gave to Judas Priest. My sincere condolences to all of Dave’s loved ones Family and friends and to all of the fans that so much appreciated Dave’s musical ability and his life’s work. R.I.P. Dave."

Also was a member of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, and had a pretty fruitful acting career in later life, with most news orgs taking his recurring role in Home Improvement to focus on.

This ain't the first time, but when you've been in 5 bands, by God shouldn't I know ONE of them? RIP Patrick Doyle, whoever the fuck you were.
