I was thinking Ginger Baker. He was always old. Also, much closer to the era of the other two.
 
 Then again, Neil is no youngster anymore either.

Maybe Levon Helm. He's already had throat cancer.

Truly a sad moment.

 Kenny MacLean, bassist for the 1980s Canadian new-wave group Platinum Blonde, was found dead in his Toronto apartment Nov. 24.

Yeah, but apparently the writer didn't know that The Dream Syndicate recorded "Let It Rain" as a b-side so s/he is still unhip.
