I bought my daughter and her hubby tickets for the Foo fighters when they appeared at Kardinia Park Geelong a couple of weeks ago.
She reckoned it was an amazing night.
Given that they are in their early 40s, and he was only 50, it might give them a reality check.

No cause of death given.

Seems a big heart attack with ten types of drugs in his system. very sad.

The wanted front man has also passed away, Tom Parker. And Bruce Willis has retired from acting with a brain illness. Really bad week.

No doubt (no not the band) they will be back with a new drummer in the not too distant future.

Ray Liotta, the actor most famous for Goodfellas has died aged 67. I didn't even think he was that old. . . . then again I guess Goodfellas would be considered an ancient film by many these days. Still, died in his sleep apparently, seems one of many dodgy celeb deaths of recent times. R.I.P.

Didn’t they do a lot of Afghanistans finest export in their day, I know the lead singer did?

I wonder if they will call it a day now.

Even though the keyboard player is more replaceable than the other 2 founding members, currently Depeche Mode haven't released a new studio album for 5 years (the longest period they have gone in their history).

Anyway. Natural causes at aged 60? What does that even mean?

I don’t know your occupation, that comment may be a smokescreen.

I'll give you a clue. I had both a mother and a father.
