Y&T - Former Drummer Passes Away
The metal world has lost two drummers in quick succession. Tarot's drummer Pecu Cinnari died recently on September 10th, and now former Y&T sticksman Leonard Haze passed away one day later at 61 in his sleep.
The band's guitarist and singer Dave Meniketti wrote: "It is with shock and sadness that I type this. Leonard Haze, the legendary drummer, and a guy I spent decades with creating great music together, has passed away at 61. This, just a few days after his birthday. I just woke up to this news, as I'm in Germany, and immediately called his wife, Kelly. She confirmed that Leonard had passed away in his sleep, a few hours ago, sometime between noon and 7:30pm on Sunday, September 11.
"Leonard has been struggling with COPD for years, but Kelly said that although his health had recently declined, they felt he had a few years left, so this is unexpected. My deepest condolences to Leonard's family and friends. His impact on the rock scene was well documented. Rest in peace, my friend."
