RIP: MITCH MITCHELL

Drummer Mitch Mitchell Dead At 62

Mitch Mitchell, the innovative drummer who anchored the Jimi Hendrix Experience, has died at the age of 62. Mitchell passed away on November 12 in Portland, Oregon of natural causes. The London native had completed an 18 city American tour as a featured performer with Experience Hendrix, a series concert series celebrating the legacy of Jimi Hendrix featuring an all-star line-up of artists including his one-time Hendrix bandmate and dear friend Billy Cox.
...And another one bites the dust...
 Of course, never saw The Experience live, but the Hendrix Are You Experienced? album was the first Stereo album
that I ever bought.
