Mott The Hoople drummer dies

2016-01-18 by Tunaboy45 | 11 Comments
Dale Griffin, drummer for rock group Mott The Hoople, has died aged 67 after a nine year battle with Alzheimer’s.

In an interview with the Hereford Times, former Mott keyboardist Verden Allen said "Dale was a nice, well-spoken man and a brilliant drummer, it’s unbelievable that he’s gone".

Mott had a hit in 1972 with the Bowie written song "All The Young Dudes" and disbanded in 1980.

"All The Young Dudes is a classic song, what a chorus. RIP."

That Bowie wrote...


But seriously the amount of musicians dying this month is uncanny. RIP

we know Bowie wrote it, that's not relevant to a thread about the drummer dying

Contracting Alzheimers in your 50s. Man, that's rough.

R.I.P. (I'm really getting tired of typing that). All The Young Dudes is an amazing song. How uncanny that one of their members dies so soon after David Bowie.
