Morphine drummer Billy Conway has died, aged 65
Rolling Stone confirmed the news yesterday (December 20), as friend and bandmate Jeffrey Foucault – with whom Conway had toured as a duo since 2013 – told the publication that he passed on Sunday (December 19) due to complications surrounding his lengthy battle with cancer.“Billy Conway was one of the best drummers America produced in the second half of the 20th century,” Foucault said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “With his uncanny empathy and sensitivity, his dedication to simplicity and restraint, and his impossible spiritual power, he played the song, never the instrument, and when he played he was undeniable.
