I thought it was the singer but either way, someone definitely died as Vince Neil’s passenger.
Razzle wasn't an original member.
I think Rick Nielsen was out a short time but is back now. He's 74, older than the rest of the band. Robin Zander's son filled in for him. I sure would've been bummed if I went to a show & Rick wasn't with them. Bad enough that Bun E Carlos got forced out. They played here recently & it was spendy. $80 before service charges. When I was in high school Cheap Trick was the band that opened for everyone. First time I saw them was opening for KISS on the Love Gun tour. They blew KISS away. Most memorable show was Ted Nugent (circa Double Live Gonzo), Cheap Trick (Heaven Tonight) & this little unknown Aussie band called AC/DC (around the first live album). Bon Scott was still with us. They got booed at first because the spuds thought they were punk rock but AC/DC won them over. They were so fantastic. I got so enthused that I went back for the second night. Glad I did because the next time AC/DC played in town Bon was gone. They sold out 3 nights at the same venue where they opened for Ted. I think Bon was one of the best front men I've ever seen. AC/DC were still great after but it's not quite the same.
The first Jethro Tull bass player, Glenn Cornick, died.
Original Santana bassist David Brown died in 2000
He was fired from the band over 50 years ago.
Yes, but he played on their first three albums, therefore not all the original members of Jethro Tull are alive. Mick Abrahams had an even shorter time in the band, just their first album, but I consider him an original member too. I think he’s still alive.
Well, the Lobos were led by Francisco "Frank" Gonzalez in the beginning, who was out of the band even before their 1st record in the 70s. He is sadly no longer with us since last year. But his Veracruz harp solo record from the 2010s titled "The Gift / El Regalo" is excellent.
Well in that case, Simon & Garfunkel.
OH...and...
The New Barbarians!

All of GnR are alive which is a miracle.
All of Kiss are alive which I don’t care about.

Hanoi RocksBut OK, they didn't start before 80. And the reunion was a one-off for now.
Didn’t the drummer die?

Kills me every day that every member of Guns N Roses is still alive and they don't play together. They've missed the opportunity to really cash in on in but still, clock's tickin boys.
Guns N Roses are headlining HyDE Park in London this summer.

Until last year Motley Crue was intact. It's too bad Mick Mars is out. He's a fine guitar player & for me was the main reason to see them. He's been in bad health for years but there has been some talk that he was pushed out.

What about Heart? I can't find anything online about Michael Fisher, Brian Johnstone, and John Hannah, but all the rest of the originals are still alive...
Does anyone know if the above 3 are still among us?

Well, the Lobos were led by Francisco "Frank" Gonzalez in the beginning, who was out of the band even before their 1st record in the 70s. He is sadly no longer with us since last year. But his Veracruz harp solo record from the 2010s titled "The Gift / El Regalo" is excellent.

String Cheese Incident still have all original members (as far as I can tell), plus two additions that came on board later on. But they are around for "only" 30 years.
