Phil Buerstatte, drummer for White Zombie from 1992 to 1994 and for Last Crack from 1986 to 1997 has passed away earlier this weekend.
We just keep losing them in 2013, don't we? Buerstatte was found dead in Madison, Wisconsin, this weekend with no further details available at the moment. We'll keep you posted as we know more about the situation! Blabbermouth found a statement from Last Crack, saying:
"We are sorry to have to announce that LAST CRACK drummer and our musical brother Phil Buerstatte has passed away today. He will be greatly missed by his many friends, family and fellow band members.
"Pull out your LAST CRACK albums, crank them up loud and remember what a great drummer he was!
"It is the end of an era for us and sad to say the original lineup will never be able to play together again. Our last show with Phil from 2009 is posted on YouTube in its entirety. The remaining members of the band are discussing doing a tribute show in Phil's honor in the coming months. We'll post details soon."
So go crank some good shit in memory of Phil!
