Brunkert bled to death from a throat wound which police suspect was caused after he accidentally smashed a pane of glass, a spokeswoman for the Civil Guard police said, adding that authorities were awaiting the result of an autopsy.

No, no, no... We all know already Ringo is the luckiest man in the world.
And Keith Moon
Ask Pete Best.
The brunette was hot. Actually, she still is judging from the last time I saw her on TV.
Drugs & Alcohol?
I was pretty much sure it wasn’t a gang related driveby...
Arkancide? Don't laugh! See the advertisement on the link that is displayed next to the above text.
ABBA, one of my childhood guilty pleasures. RIP to Mr. Brunkert.

The rule applies to REAL drummers.

Nothing to feel guilty about. They were a pop band of genius.
Agreed!
I was about 3 or 4 when they were at their mid/late ‘70s zenith. My half-Swiss cousins were huge fans and when I visited their house at the time, it was wall-to-wall ABBA music blaring full-tilt. I can’t hear a single song of theirs without being transported back 30 years ago...
Of course, when ABBA folded, they started blasting Toto... :-P
Anni-Frid Was indeed hawt! But, my heart will always belong to Agnetha!!!!
Tremendous voice, too.
Yes, I was and still am a big Fan of ABBA recordings. All the musicians I hug out with were in awe of their records not necessarily for the songs but for the SOUND.
Me, I liked 'em both and still do.
Years ago I got to sit and listen to a recording engineer who had worked with ABBA's legendary Tretow. He filled us in (it was a workshop for recording) how Tretow had made their vocals literally JUMP off of the record. Very ingenious that Tretow chap!
I buy very few musical CDs. Of those even fewer vocals.
ABBA is one. Love their music.
