This day in music history.

September 23, 1974, Robbie McIntosh (drummer for the Average White Band) died at a Hollywood party. Apparently Robbie and Alan Gorrie (bass, Guitar, Lead Vocals) snorted what they thought was cocaine but was actually heroin. Gorrie also overdosed but was kept conscious until medical help arrived which saved his life. McIntosh was 24.
