Can't believe no one mentioned about this news.
70 years old and out on tour somewhere in Switzerland.
Must be a bad year for Johnny's.
The last of the infamous Ramones punk band died last week. Not sure if it was Johnny, Joey, Ralphie or the twice removed cousin.
But the Ramones are no more.
Kind of sucks about Johnny Winter. He was the albino, as I recall. Saw them in the 70's and it was awesome.

Both he and brother Edgar are albinos.
He was the best slide player ever! Any pro guitarist will tell you he's the man.
Thanks E, I knew it was something along those lines. But it was lots of years ago and my memory does have lapses.
At the same venue I saw the original Ted Nugent, Bob Seger, Mitch Ryder, and lots of other Detroit rock stars. It was a hockey rink that seated about 800 people, and tickets were $2.
Lest we forget Motown and all it's legacy.
Great musician - I used to listen to one of his live record, first track on the album "Good morning little school girl", started with a kick #ss drum beat, the a yell then the guitars kicked in, such a cool way to start a live show, what a jolt of energy!
Third Degree remains one of my favorite blues record.
RIP, virtuoso.
Tommy Ramone
