Scott Asheton, founding member and drummer for proto-punk band Iggy and the Stooges, has died aged 64.

 

 

My dear friend Scott Asheton passed away last night. Scott was a great artist, I have never heard anyone play the drums with more meaning than Scott Asheton. He was like my brother. He and Ron have left a huge legacy to the world. The Asheton’s have always been and continue to be a second family to me.

The Stooges and Fun House are IMHO among the very best rock albums ever.
