Legendary drummer George “Buddy” Miles passed away peacefully and quietly last night (Tuesday February 26) at his home in Austin, TX. Buddy will be greatly missed as a wonderful person and as a truly gifted musician. Miles rose to fame as drummer for Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys. Although Band of Gypsys was short lived, the gig led to a very prosperous career finding Miles working with Carlos Santana, David Bowie, George Clinton and more.
The Miles family asks for your prayers and that you respect their privacy. A tribute show will be announced within a short period of time and all are welcome to come and share in the magic that was Buddy Miles.
