Very sad, although he cheated death twice before. In the early 60's he had a head on motorcycle accident and in 1980 a cerebral hemorrhage. So 74 is maybe not bad. RIP.
Is this a record year for such news? Or is it just that we're more attuned?
I'm shocked to hear about both - partly because I hadn't thought about their ages. Some people just seem ageless.

Well, guess what, Joanne, it gets worse - 2 dead Airplane members on the same day!

And then there was Skip Spence, who agreed to play drums with the band, before leaving to start Moby Grape.

@wharfrat: that was fantastic -- thanks for posting it.
Most of the "aging musicians" are not only still with us, they are on the road and still performing. Kinda makes irrelevant the word "aging" doesn't it?

Ian Hunter, among those still performing, is up there, too: 76.

Considering some of the company he kept that's impressive.
