Love the band and he became one of my favorite musicians after watching "Sonic Highways", he just had this magnetic smile and was so at home pounding the skins. My favorite memory of him was the Nashville episode at the Grand Ole Opry when they are in the "Ladies' Room", which is their female Hall of Fame and he and a bandmate are walking around and looking at the pics of the most famous ladies of Country Music. As he gets to the end, he turns to his mate and says "I don't know any of these women". I fell out, it was a great moment. Taylor, the True Rocker.
I hope the preliminary news about this being an overdose are wrong. Wife and 3 children are 4 great reasons for that not to happen. Not judging, have no idea what that life is like but it will make this loss a more bitter one to take.
