Davy Jones is deadFollow

66 years old and he died due to heart failure, apparently.

For those who don't know, Davy Jones was the lead singer in the band The Monkees - the world's first "modern boyband" in the sense that the band was created by the record company.

If you're still lost then perhaps you know this song by them:

The Monkees was first a Saturday morning kids comedy show. I think this was responsible for their initial musical fame.

Davy was the fav of the girls. In fact, there was a Brady Bunch episode that was all about Marcia's crush on Davy Jones.

Personally I liked Peter Tork. He was much funnier.

The Monkees was the first concert I ever attended. Its burned into my memory forever. Jimmie Hendrix opened for them!
RIP Davey

Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork are both top notch musicians. The Monkees even released an album of originals that hit #1, but was obliterated the very next week by some obscure album called Sgt. Pepper's lonely hearts club band.

Actually, obliterated isn't the right term. According to wiki it stayed at number 2 for 11 weeks, just behind the Beatle's opus. Not too shabby.

He's been haunting me. Lola, L. O. L. A . Lola, has been on repeat play in my brain for two weeks. Luckily I know all the words to the song, so I'm not being driven crazy by just the chorus playing over and over and over.
