Pat Torpey (Mr Big)

Billy Sheehan tweeted this morning that Pat has been ill with Parkinson's Disease.

Gutted. He's a great drummer and I've met him twice - nice fella too.

Apparently they used a drum programmer to help Pat on their latest album and they'll be drafting in a drummer for their imminent tour, but hoping that Pat will join them for a few dates to sing.
