Monkees Singer Davy Jones Dead at 66

Another great legend has passed away. The Monkees lead singer, Davy Jones, died this morning from a heart attack. RIP.

Man, my heart can't take much more of this. Lest you forget, the Monkees' biggest hits include "Daydream Believer," "Last Train to Clarksville," and "I'm a Believer."

From TMZ:

An official from the medical examiner's office for Martin County, Florida confirmed with TMZ they received a call from Martin Memorial Hospital informing them that Jones had passed away.

Jones is survived by his wife Jessica and 4 daughters from previous marriages. He was 66-years-old.

Jones joined The Monkees in 1965 ... along with Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork ... and together they churned out a bunch of hits including, "Daydream Believer," "Last Train to Clarksville" and "I'm a Believer."

The group was initially cast by TV producers who wanted to create a scripted series about an actual rock n' roll band.
