The Stooges guitarist and co-songwriter Ron Asheton has been found dead at his home from a heart attack. He was 60 years old. I haven’t really gotten into the Stooges yet but since these guys are an important rock band, and its another musician that has died; I figured it was worth posting.
From Uncut:
Born in Michigan in 1948, Asheton was founder member of The Stooges, alongside Iggy Pop, and played guitar on the group’s iconic first two albums The Stooges and Fun House.
Although relegated to playing bass only for the third Stooges album Raw Power in 1973 when James Williamson joined the band, Asheton reunited the Stooges with Iggy and Scott Asheton in 2003.
