Hollywood’s Most Haunting Goodbyes: Celebrities You Probably Didn’t Know Were Dead
Tony Allen – Aortic Aneurysm
Tony Allen, the legendary drummer from Nigeria, gained fame as the rhythmic force behind Afrobeat, a fusion of African music, jazz, and funk. Teaming up with Fela Kuti in the late 1960s, Tony’s innovative drumming was crucial to the sound that would captivate the world.
Known for his distinctive beats and cross-rhythms, he became one of the most influential drummers of his time. During his glory days, his groove was the heartbeat of Afrobeat. Sadly, Tony passed away from an aortic aneurysm in April 2020 at age 79. His passing marked the end of an era, but his beats continue to resonate within the fabric of world music.
