[KhanadaRhodes]

tony thompson, of chic and power station fame, passed away. i'm not sure how he died, and can't find a link about it, except for one on duran duran's site.

man, this really sucks. he was a great drummer. his sound was so identifiable, from chic to dd to david bowie. what a loss.

 

[JOFO]

yeah, played with led zeppelin at live aid too.

here's a bit more info, finally: http://www.nilerodgers.com/nile_rodgers.htm

he died wednesday of renal cell carcinoma. this is a really sad year for the music world, so many people have died.

What a shame.
RIP

I thought Phil Collins drummed with Zep at Live Aid. He did the trans-Atlantic flight to play at both Philly and London.

it appears he just did two concerts by himself.

Methinks my memory is correct...perhaps Thompson played at the Atlantic Recoirds Anniversary party with Zep

 

[JOFO]

there were 2 drummers with zep at live aid: phil collins and tony thompson; they both played simultaneously.

jason bonham played drums at the atlantic records reunion.
