Oprichter Descendents overleden

31 Oktober jongstleden is één van de oprichters van de Amerikaanse punkband Descendents overleden. Het gaat om Frank Navetta die samen met Bill Stevenson en Tony Lombardo de band in 1979 oprichten. Hij schreef en speelde mee op de klassieker 'Milo Goes To College' maar verliet de band in 1985 om te verhuizen naar Oregan om full-time visser te worden. Onderstaande is een reactie van de band... "We're very sorry to announce that founding member of The DESCENDENTS, and close friend Frank Navetta passed away on October 31, 2008 after becoming ill over the course of a few days. This is obviously a huge loss for the DESCENDENTS family. His contribution to the band, and to music in general can not be overstated. Frank will be truly missed. We will share information about memorial services when we find out."
