I may only be in my early 30′s, but I grew up watching re-runs of many classic television shows including The Monkees. It is heartbreaking to hear that lead singer Davy Jones died of heart attack at age 66 this morning.
An official from the medical examiner’s office for Martin County, Florida confirmed with TMZ they received a call from Martin Memorial Hospital informing them that Jones had passed away.
I had the pleasure to meet Davy along with fellow band members Peter Tork and Mickey Dolenz on two occasions in Orlando, Florida a few years ago. The guys participated yearly in a Lupus Charity event put together by Backstreet Boys star Howie Dorough in memory of his sister.
You would think that other stars in attendance like Aaron Carter or Howie himself would garner the most attention, but it was really Davy and The Monkees who had the fans lining up in droves.
Jones is survived by his 3rd wife Jessica Pacheco and four daughters from previous marriages.
Here is a clip of Davy when he guest starred on The Brady Bunch. RIP
