Pat Torpey (Mr Big)

Sad news, Pat’s passed away. Complications with Parkinson’s. 

Saw as him on the UK tour last year, and whilst obviously massively effected by the disease it was great to see him there.

This is so sad and cruel. What a fighter and once again, that's no age.

Lovely to see how the band still included him (Styx do the same with their bassist).

Great drummer and singer and by all accounts, a genuinely nice guy

Gutted to hear the news this morning. Met him on two occasions and he was a warm, friendly and funny guy. Awesome player too.

Saw him att B.B. king’s blues bar in New York a few years ago. Such a shame.

What a great drummer. So sad. I always think of this groove when someone mentions him, what a loss for the rest of the band.
