^I didn't know he was also a member of The Byrds.

I know there aren't many fans of grunge music here, but I was saddened yesterday to find out that Van Connor (founding member & bass player of The Screaming Trees) died a few days ago. He was only 55, but had liver problems along with other health issues.

All I can think about Crosby is the controversy a couple years ago when he referred to EVH as “meh”.

Oh serious bummer. By my count that is pretty much all the major actors on Laverne & Shirley gone except for Lenny (Micheal McKean).

It’s not been announced yet, but British actor Julian Sands has been missing in the mountains for about two weeks…

I hope he is alive, but his own brother has said he thinks he’s gone.

Former Control Denied vocalist Tim Aymar had died at age 59.

https://blabbermouth.net/news/control-denied-and-pharaoh-vocalist-tim-aymar-dead-at-59

Control Denied was the last project that Chuck Schuldiner (the guitarist/vocalist of the influential band Death) released.

There had been talks over the years to finish the recordings that Chuck left behind (for a second album).

by Black Rider Wed Feb 15, 2023 5:18 pm

He was also in a group called Pharaoh that was pretty good.
