Davy Jones 66 of The Monkeys Dead

Today, the world of music has lost another one of it’s own. One time frontman for the 60′s, teenage group The Monkees has passed away. Davy Jones, 66, was confirmed by the medical examiner’s office in Martin County, Florida that he suffered a heart attack in his sleep. Davy was staying at the Martin Memorial Hospital in Stuart, Florida. He is survived by his third wife, Jessica, and four daughters.

Davy got his start in the industry when he appeared on the British soap Coronation street and later, went on to perform on the West End stage in Oliver! However, most people know Davy best as the frontman for the 60′s pop group, The Monkees. Superseding shows like Making The Band and Popstars, the show of the same name followed the creation and performances of the Monkees on NBC until it was cancelled.

After leaving The Monkees, Davy continued to act and made famous appearances on shows like The Brady Bunch and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. His last solo music projects were released back in 2001 and 2004. Check out a few videos below.
