Butch Trucks Dead at age 69

Incredible drummer / musician and I had heard rumors of a possible re-union which would have included Dickey Betts.  ( ABB was never the same when he left ) Really too bad that will not occur now ....real sad news and only 69 years old. You will be missed Butch ...... 

It is unfortunate, but from what I have read and from more information that is coming out ......the IRS was after Butch for a large sum of money. Too bad as I think that if the music world was contacted and made aware of this issue with Butch and you got somebody who has had the experience dealing with the IRS - that I am sure somebody would have stepped up and done something to help the guy out. Hey they have had benefits concerts for much less......
