[B][quote]Davy Jones, Manchester-born lead singer with 60s band The Monkees, has died aged 66, his publicist has confirmed.[/B]
He died in his sleep at his home in Florida. His publicist, Deborah Robicheau, said he had a massive heart attack.
The band, who included musicians Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork, were famous for hits including Daydream Believer and I'm a Believer.
The Monkees were an American pop band, assembled in 1966.
Jones was married three times and had four daughters.
Early on in his showbusiness career he appeared as Ena Sharples's grandson in ITV soap Coronation Street.
The band found fame through a successful television series, popular in both the US and the UK.
They were famous for their clean-cut image and were marketed as the American answer to The Beatles, notching up nine top 40 hits.[/quote]

Its sad to think that all your favorite musicians are going to die eventually, wether you like it or not.
I hope he didn't go to Davy Jones locker.

I like to think of The Monkees as the American answer to the Beatles.[/QUOTE]
I thought it was The Beach Boys?
It took me hours of disbelief to come to terms with his death.
But now I'm a believer.
