The Canadian Press reports that according to authorities, Mitch Mitchell, drummer for the legendary JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE of the 1960s, was found dead in his Portland hotel room.
Erin Patrick, a deputy medical examiner in Multnomah County, said Mitchell was found dead a little after 3 AM Wednesday in his room at the Benson Hotel in downtown Portland.
She said Mitchell apparently died of natural causes. He was 62. An autopsy is planned.
Mitchell was touring with the Experience Hendrix Tour, which performed Friday at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland. It was the last stop on the West Coast portion of the tour.
Hendrix died in 1970. Noel Redding, bassist for the trio, died in 2003.

He was one of my favorite drummers. WOW 62 that was young but for a rock star I guess that was old.

Weird. I listened to Are You Experienced on Sunday, and it was eerie knowing that the whole band is dead.
RIP
