Flea has paid tribute to drummer D. H. Peligro following his death at the age of 63.
The punk rock musician, known as the drummer for The Dead Kennedys, passed away following an accidental fall at his Los Angeles home on Friday. A representative for the band announced the sad news via Instagram on Saturday. "Dead Kennedys' drummer D.
H. Peligro (Darren Henley) passed away in his Los Angeles home yesterday, October 28th. Police on the scene stated that he died from trauma to the head caused by an accidental fall," they wrote.
"Arrangements are pending and will be announced in the coming days. We ask that you respect the family's privacy during this difficult time. Thank you for your thoughts and words of comfort.
"Born Darren Henley, Peligro joined The Dead Kennedys in 1981 and made his debut on the EP In God We Trust, Inc. He took a hiatus between 2008 and 2009 as he needed a break from touring. In addition, Peligro replaced drummer Jack Irons in the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1988.
However, singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea made the decision to fire him due to his ongoing drug and alcohol issues, and he was succeeded by Chad Smith. Flea was among the first to pay tribute to the late star. "My dear friend, my brother I miss you so much.
I'm devastated today, a river of tears, but all my life I will treasure every second. The first time I saw you play with the DK's in '81 you blew my mind. The power, the soul, the recklessness.
You became my beloved friend, so many times of every kind," he wrote on Instagram. "We had so much fun, so much joy, having each other's backs. I love you with all my heart.

The 2018 blockbuster Black Panther marked several milestones for Marvel and the whole MCU in ways they would be hard to follow, not least being its wide-ranging cultural impact, its groundbreaking and game-changing opening for Black filmmakers in front of and behind the camera, its imprint on social issues and certainly the fact that it became the first so-called comic book movie adaptation ever to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar. That is some legacy, and add its three quarters of a billion dollar worldwide gross and you have an obvious candidate for a blockbuster sequel. However the tragic, completely unexpected death of its star, Chadwick Boseman at just age 43, and the whole idea of carrying the story forward without its key driving on screen force of King T’Challa would be a tall order for anyone. Fortunately for us it is one that has been largely met with dignity, grief over unthinkable loss, and a determination to do the right thing by director Ryan Coogler.
