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.

Damn, RIP.
Remember listening to these guys with my dad back in the day.
| | | All The Young Dudes is a classic song, what a chorus. RIP.
| | | What is going on? Glenn Frey died too.
| | | Contracting Alzheimer's before age 60 sounds scary. RIP.
| | | RIP man. All the Young Dudes is great.
Glenn Frey died? Man, January 2016 sucks so much.
| | | It's only the 18th, seriously what the hell is going on
| | | "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
| | | ars if you could stop posting stupid comments in threads about musicians dying that would be cool thanks
| | | 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.
| | | RIP, tough year so far, unbelievable.
