From bbc.co.uk:

"Fred White, former drummer of the band Earth, Wind & Fire, has died aged 67. A child drumming prodigy, Chicago-born White was one of the first members to join the group founded by his older brothers Maurice and Verdine. Among the tributes to White, singer Lenny Kravitz called him a "true king" and said he was "blessed" to have been influenced by him."


This is really sad news. 🙁

RIP Fred.

EDIT - @Seanc - FYI

I think these lines are fitting in remembrance of my hero Freddy White

As you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
Glowing light will see you through
It’s your day, shining day
All your dreams come true

As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
“I am free. Yes, I’m free. Now, I’m on my way”

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it’s your life now in review
