[quote]TRIBUTES have been flooding in from all across the world
following the death of Animal, the legendary drummer with rock
outfit Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem.
Fans of the supergroup were shocked to learn of the passing of
the iconic percussionist, who passed away at just 66 following a
short illness. Remaining band members Dr. Teeth, Janice, Zoot
and Floyd Pepper took to the group’s Facebook fan page to
announce the sad news earlier today.
“We will never forget you, brother,” read the statement from the
band.
“You kept rocking ’til the very end. Be at peace now, and we’ll
play again in that great muppet theatre in the sky”.
Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem had been performing together
for several years before their breakout performance on the
Muppet Show in 1975. The band were invited to continue as
resident artists for the show, but it was Animal’s trademark
intensity that won him the hearts of fans all across the world.
His popularity won him appearances in every Muppet movie
released, with his last role in 2014’s Muppets: Most Wanted.
“Although he had already been diagnosed with threadbaring
syndrome, you would have never known he was sick,” said Fozzie
Bear, speaking about the filming of M:MW.
“I’d ask him if he was feeling alright, and he’d just say
‘ANIMAL!!! HAAAAH!!!!’. That was… that was just Animal, you
know?”
Other Muppets were quick to add their own tributes to their
deceased colleague, with Miss Piggy stating that Animal was “a
driving force in her life”, and the Swedish Chef adding that
Animal always knew “how tee bork de bork”.[/quote]

I have no idea how to process this.
Literally. No idea.
Although I will admit that I'm ignorant enough in music that I
thought for a second "is there ACTUALLY a rock musician named
Animal? Like the Muppets?"
