Alan Myers, best known as Devo's drummer of 10 years, died
of brain cancer Monday.
According to USAToday, his death was initially reported on
Facebook by jazz musician and friend Myers Ralph Carney.
"He was Devo's best drummer and one of the first people
to teach me about jazz," Carney wrote late Tuesday.
"An underrated/brilliant drummer," current Devo
member Josh Freese tweeted hours later. "Such an honor playing his parts
w/ Devo. Godspeed Human Metronome."
Myers joined Devo in 1976 as the band's third drummer and left a decade later because of creative differences. He was featured on the new wave band's hit single Whip It in 1980.
