Subject: Jefferson Airplane drummer Joey Covington dies

Written By: ninny on 06/06/13 at 2:34 pm

Classic-rock fans are mourning the loss of Jefferson Airplane drummer Joey Covington, who died in a car crash late Tuesday afternoon in Palm Springs, Calif., at age 67.

Police were called to the scene at about 5 p.m. after the musician's Honda Civic crashed into a wall at a curve in the road, according to The (Palm Springs) Desert Sun. A guest at a nearby hotel attempted to resuscitate Covington, who was not wearing a seat belt, but the drummer died at the scene.

The news of his death was confirmed Wednesday on the Jefferson Starship Facebook page, where dozens of fans left their condolences on a post reading, "Rest in Peace, Joey."

Covington played from 1970 to 1972 with Jefferson Airplane, well-known for such psychedelic tunes as Somebody to Love and White Rabbit. He was a founding member of the blues-rock band Hot Tuna and later joined Airplane-successor Jefferson Starship.
