Original AC/DC Drummer Colin Burgess Dies at 77

Colin Burgess, original drummer of AC/DC, has died at age 77.

In the wee music corners of the rock and roll universe, a star has faded out of view. The world bows its head to bid adieu to the drummer extraordinaire, really, a percussion legend — Colin Burgess, who once propelled the thunderous, hard rock soundscape of none other than AC/DC. Death enacted its cruel script, escorting him off our world's stage at the age of 77.

AC/DC took to their Facebook page, the words raw yet replete with respect. 'Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess.' Without needing to see a signature, fans around the world could feel the heartfelt loss pouring out. The tribute continued, 'He was our first drummer and a very respected musician. Happy memories, rock in peace Colin.”
