Mott The Hoople drummer Dale Griffin dies at 67

DALE ‘Buffin’ Griffin, drummer with iconic Herefordshire band Mott The Hoople has died at 67, after suffering from alzheimer’s.

Griffin was a founder member of the trailblazing glam rock band which had a string of hits in the 1970s and famously topped the charts with the Bowie track All the Young Dudes.

He died last night.

Keyboardist Verden Allen had only spoken to the Hereford Times last week, paying tribute to Bowie – today he said he was shocked to hear of another sad loss much closer to home.
