Bassist Jimmy Bain dead at 68

I wouldn't say I was a massive fan or anything, but obviously I admired his career and his playing.

Will be missed.

Edited to remove CoD.

Will this shit stop at last?

R.I.P.

Jesus. That's bad.

Apparently the bear attack might have been someone taking the piss on Wikipedia. No cause of death given, but sources say he was suffering from pneumonia.

Sad to hear this!

I am a great fan of the Rainbow Rising - Long live Rock'n Roll 'period' and the early Dio stuff.

So sad to see this generation of musicans fade...

Thanks. I fell for a very obvious hoax :( I wish, however, the hoax had been about the death itself rather than the cause of death...

Me too. Those two albums are amongst the very best.

RIP.
