This news gave me a pang of sadness. And I don't know why. I don't know why... anymore.

Over here at Chez Stella, we've been watching this little gem -- the rockers' response to Live Aid -- in remembrance of Kevin:

Early reports indicate that he fell down, possibly banging his head.

And yet somehow Scott Stapp lives on. Is there no justice in the world?

oooooooooh rick, that was just so bad it was good...and then looped back around to bad again...

Has anyone heard what the autopsy report came up with? The dude was only 52!

Metal health. It drove him dead.

Update (Please note especially ironic last line):

Quiet Riot Singer Died of Overdose

LAS VEGAS -- The death last month of Kevin DuBrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has been ruled an accidental cocaine overdose.

Clark County coroner spokeswoman Samantha Charles confirmed the cause Monday after toxicology results were received Monday.

DuBrow was found dead Nov. 25 at his Las Vegas home. He was 52.

Quiet Riot was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize." The song, featuring DuBrow's powerful, gravelly voice, appeared on the band's album "Metal Health" — which was the first by a metal band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart.

DuBrow recorded a solo album in 2004, "In for the Kill," and the band's last studio CD, "Rehab," came out in October 2006.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED I say!

Well, it's been about three weeks. How is everyone coping so far?

I'm not sure why we even heard about it at all. I thought that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
