Motorhead drummer Phil Taylor dies aged 61
Quote:
His death was reported by his friend and bandmate Fast Eddie Clarke - whom Taylor introduced to the band - on his official Facebook page.
"My dear friend and brother passed away last night," wrote the guitarist. "I have known Phil since he was 21 and he was one hell of a character.
"Fortunately we made some fantastic music together and I have many, many fond memories of our time together."
Clarke said Taylor had been ill for some time "but that does not make it any easier when the time finally comes".
This is just so sad!!!

Jonah Lomu NZ rugby legend dies aged 40
Quote:
Lomu, who scored 37 tries in 63 matches for New Zealand between 1994 and 2002, had been diagnosed with a rare and serious kidney condition in 1995.
It forced him to quit the game and he had a kidney transplant in 2004, but the organ stopped functioning in 2011.
"Jonah was a legend of our game and loved by his many fans both here and around the world," said New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew.
"We're lost for words and our heartfelt sympathies go out to Jonah's family."
