November 20, 2003

Additional guest musicians are expected to be announced soon. Click here for more information.

Thompson, the drummer who powered hits by the POWER STATION, CHIC, and DIANA ROSS, and who almost joined LED ZEPPELIN, died in Encino, California, on November 12, just three days shy of his 49th birthday. Thompson had battled renal cell cancer and had undergone surgery earlier this year in an effort to combat the disease. He is survived by his wife Patrice and their two children.
