RIP Keith from The Prodigy.

Suicide... Damn.  I guess he was a larger than life personality and probably prone to manic bouts.  But seemed a genuinely likeable dude.

RIP George Chambers

Ginger Baker recently too... not sure RIP really applies to him though 

Jimster

Watched "Beware of Mr Baker" over the weekend...  A great drummer but unfortunately a greater asshole.  There was a lot to admire about him and the depth he got into his music, but he seemed like a moody brat his entire life.
