R.I.P Charlie.. Absolute legend..
I'd be lying if all the negative comments Joey ever made about him didn't cross my mind today. I obviously didn't know him but he seems like he was one of the friendliest, grounded and funny rock stars out there.. Class act.. Joey.. not so much..

I’m guessing that means the tour will be canceled. I was thinking about seeing them at RayJay since there was actually some cheap tickets.

He had already pulled out of the tour a while ago. He said he needs to take care of some health issues and it's not fair that fans should go through another cancellation or postponement, so the best option was to have someone replace him for this tour.

Damn, the end of an era. He wasn't flashy, nor did he try to the look the part of a rockstar, but he more than held his own. A humble, ordinary guy who played in arguably the greatest band of all time. That's certainly inspirational. He'll be missed.

One of the most understated, yet identifiable, drummers in rock history. No flash, all substance.
A sad loss.

Anyone done a wellness check on Bartman2001? 🙂 I figured if this doesn't bring him around nothing will. I sent him a message weeks ago, but no reply. I hope he's ok, but realistically he is either dead, in jail, or just plain sick of this place.

I hope it's nothing bad as well. Might just be taking a vacation from interwebland. Sometimes that's a good idea.
