    According to this Rolling Stone article the bassist dies aged 77 after a 12 year battle with cancer?

    That’s what trivial pursuit told me. Was he an original member?

    Says in the article he joined in 1967 two years after the bands formation and was part of their classic line up. They seem to have had a lot of members though

    I saw that question earlier and actually considered Canned Heat but quickly ruled them out on account the drummer would appear to be very much still alive. Jimi Hendrix Experience could be argued to be a valid answer imo.

    Yeah I’d say the original 1965 line up is what counts

    I've tried but can't make this work. The original line up contains Mike Perlowin who is still alive but was only a member for a few days apparently. He was replaced by Kenny Edwards who died from cancer in 2010. Edwards left in 1965 to be replaced by Henry vestine who had a heart attack in 1997.

    Somewhere in Kerry?
    That's what people might think seeing as both parents are from Kerry.
    But the answer is actually Westmeath.

    Like lots of families with someone working in the bank they tended to move around a lot back in the day.
