Another musician has fallen. Founding Blue Öyster Cult keyboardist and guitarist Allen Lanier has died at the age of 66 after being hospitalized with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The band posted the sad news on their official page: "We have extremely sad news to report. We've lost our friend and bandmate Allen Lanier. Allen succumbed to complications from C.O.P.D. He is survived by his wife Dory, sister Mary Anne and mother Martha.

Although he retired from touring in 2006, Allen returned to the stage for what turned out to be his final appearance, reuniting with BÖC at the 40th Anniversary show in New York this past November. DFTR sweet man. We love you and miss you."

These past few years have been awful for keyboardists. Ray Manzarek (The Doors), Jon Lord (Deep Purple), George Duke (Frank Zappa), and now Allen (BOC). R.I.P. Allen.
