If true, this is truly a sad ending to a great band.

They had a hell of a run. I feel horrible for Malcolm, having been sidelined from playing for a while (albeit nowhere near on this scale). Here’s to a full recovery, Mal.

Well, given that a key member of the band partied himself to death over 3 decades ago, it’s kind of amazing that they managed to keep going for as long as they did.

It’s a sad inevitability when these hard-partying rock stars start creeping towards their 60s that this will happen. We just lost Scott Asheton, who also had suffered a stroke a few years back that left him unable to drum. Iggy Pop is now the last original Stooge alive.
