Superchunk/Bob Mould Drummer Jon Wurster Celebrates the Very Alive Chuck Biscuits...

Chuck Biscuits may be contemplating the addition of a “the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated” tattoo right about now. I, like many others, was shocked and saddened last Thursday when news began trickling in of the legendary 44-year-old drummer’s passing from throat cancer. Within minutes message boards were flooded with condolences and testimonial to Biscuits (born Charles Montgomery), a founding member of the seminal Vancouver, BC punk band D.O.A., who later drummed with Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Social Distortion and most famously, Danzig. But as the day progressed doubts were raised that it might all be a hoax. Well, turns out the story was completely fabricated.

UPDATE: Chuck Biscuits Lives! James Greene Jr. Gets Tricked, and We Went Along for the Ride…
