D.H. Peligro, Dead Kennedys drummer, dead at 63

Dead Kennedys drummer D.H. Peligro passed away in his Los Angeles home on Friday, according to a statement from the band. He was 63 years old.

Peligro, whose real name is Darren Henley, died from head trauma sustained during an accidental fall, a Twitter post from the band said. The cause of the fatal impact was not released.

“Arrangements are pending and will be announced in the coming days. Thank you for your thoughts and words of comfort,” the post read.

Henley joined the legendary punk rock group in 1981 and made his recorded debut with the band on the record, “In God We Trust, Inc.”

Go to the er no matter what. This sucks. I was always hoping they would get back with Jello for a Riot Fest reunion show.
