Found dead with coke and a hooker in a Las Vegas hotel room. The real deal right to the end.

John's body was found on the afternoon of the 27th, and the tour was supposed to start on the evening of the 28th. I remember the morning guy on my local classic rock station going on air on the morning of the 28th and saying, That's it. They're done. They have to cancel the tour. I called him up and we had a long on-air chat about it and I said, No, I don't think so. If any band epitomizes the "get on with it' spirit of rock and roll, it's the Who, and besides, I've got third row for Grand Rapids and I want my Who show

He was the man. A great bassist and a true rock star.
Deserves props for most "rock star" death you can get.

You're right Tatters and in fact some of the tour entourage were convinced the tour would be cancelled and were on planes back to London when the decision to continue was made. Frantic phone calls were made to ensure they did not get on their connecting flights but told to turn around and head back to Vegas.

I heard that he died in a coke orgy with TWO hookers in Vegas.
Hey, the two hookers part is one of the perks of his occupation, but methinks a 57-year-old man on heart meds should've avoided the coke.
