Original Tigertailz Drummer Ace Finchum Has Died

The Official Tigertailz site has posted the following regarding the death of Ace Finchum:

I’m devastated to hear that our original Tigertailz drummer, Ace Finchum, has passed away.

From the chaos of ‘Young & Crazy’ to the fire of ‘Bezerk’, we lived those moments like our lives depended on it — and maybe they did.

Those two albums shaped the glam metal zeitgeist; they shaped who we were and everything we stood for.

Ace was the heartbeat behind it all: wild, funny, unpredictable, and always full of spirit. Those days, that laughter, that noise — they’ll stay with me forever.

Peace at last, mate. But our music, our memories, and the love from the Tailz fans will keep your flame burning forever

Love Mick x
