The Who
Singer Colin Dawson and drummer Doug Sandom were early members of the band, but departed before the group became famous… Moon died of an overdose of of the prescription drug Heminevrin, a drug intended to control alcoholism. By coincidence, he died in the same apartment where Mama Cass Elliot had died in 1974… Moon was succeeded by drummer Kenny Jones and later by Zak Starkey, son of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr… Entwhistle was succeeded by bassist Pino Paladino… 11 fans were crushed to death on 3 December 1979 while rushing to get seats at a The Who concert in Cincinnati, Ohio… Some sources list Moon’s birth year as 1947; though Moon himself often claimed 1947, the correct year seems to be 1946.
