John Entwistle Died Today Who bassist John Entwistle died this morning in Las Vegas from a heart attack on the eve of The Who's new US tour. No sign of drugs or alcohol. For rock stars, we need confirmation that they didn't drug themselves to death. I've never seen the Who perform live. Is it still the same band when half of them are dead? Would it be the Beatles if it was only Paul and Ringo with two other guys?

He died yesterday, and it's more of a triple post.

In other news, Bondcliff has passed his indoctrination with flying colors.

Oh, I thought you were calling him a dam-bass on purpose. Some sort of fish thing. Nevermind.

And I liked that last thread yet we did get out of topic, then I missed the best part, hopefully it will have it's own series, in Meta talk.

No, I meant those dam bass players are always dying. First Dee Dee, now John.

So he/she who has the most posts about their death, wins?

Okay, with the addition of the "dam bass players" line, I vote to keep this thread.
