Subject: Mott The Hoople drummer Griffin dies aged 67
Written By: Philip Eno on 01/18/16 at 3:13 pm
Dale Griffin, drummer for rock group Mott The Hoople, has died aged 67.
He was a founder member of the group, best known for classic tracks Roll Away The Stone and All The Young Dudes.
The latter was written and produced by David Bowie, who sang backing vocals on the track.
The band, who made eight albums during their five-and-a-half year existence, reformed to mark their 40th anniversary in 2009 - but Griffin was too ill to take part.
He died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday night, said Peter Purnell from record label Angel Air records.

Mr. Griffin was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease when he was 58.
I had a buddy who was diagnosed at that same age.
