Tony Thompson (drummer for Chic & The Power Station) Dies

Saw this on the Duran Duran web-site:
The band were very sad to hear about the passing of Tony Thompson today. Tony, a member of CHIC who was part of the POWERSTATION with Andy and John, is survived by his wife.

Thats the second one from Power Station to die in less then 2 months!!!

That's kind of scary to lose half the band in 2 months!
Nothing better happen to John!!!

This is so sad. He was completely broke, and trying to sell his original drum kit to pay medical bills because he had no health insurance. There were also funds being raised here:

It's just such a tragedy.
