Dale Griffin, drummer for rock group Mott The Hoople, has died aged 67.

He was a founder member of the group, best known for classic tracks Roll Away The Stone and All The Young Dudes

The latter was written and produced by David Bowie, who sang backing vocals on the track.

The band, who made eight albums during their five-and-a-half year existence, reformed to mark their 40th anniversary in 2009 - but Griffin was too ill to take part.

He died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday night, said Peter Purnell from record label Angel Air records.

He called Griffin "one of the nicest, friendly and talented men I have ever known."

He's been dead a year....fresh corpses only please.

Dallas Taylor's death was trending on the LA Times website last night. He died exactly one year ago.

Taylor was legendary in that Keith Moon of the Who said Taylor was the only person he couldn't keep up with at parties.
 
No roses from the gb/playground hybrid grrls.

No florid stories of how Buffin's drum solo on " all the way from memphis" helped them through their teen angst;

No funny hotel room trashing legends retold.

Nobody cares.

He wasnt famous enough for you arseholes to suck up to.
