Monkees singer Davy Jones has died after suffering a heart attack. He was 66. Martin County Florida’s District 19 Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the news, first reported by TMZ. Jones joined the Monkees in 1965 along with Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, and Peter Tork. Their hits include “I’m a Believer,” “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone,” “Daydream Believer,” and “Last Train to Clarksville.”
Jones has always been the boyish “McCartney” type of the group and lead singer for one of the best bands ever. It’s tough to put words together for this post. I think I’ll just listen to some Monkees for the rest of the day and marvel at what he has accomplished.
A loss my Dad says I’ll never fully understand. But we love us some Monkees all the same…The CRY!
