RIP: Steve Foley, Replacements drummer
From an article in The Star Tribune:
He was only in the band for its final year (1990-91), but the Replacements’ replacement drummer Steve Foley told biographer Jim Walsh, "It will always be a treasure in my mind.""Some days I walk down the street and go, ‘God, I was in that [expletive] band?’ Unbelievable. It is."
Foley, 49, died over the weekend of an apparent accidental drug overdose, said his sister, Colleen Foley. He was found at home in Minneapolis by some co-workers Monday when he did not show up for his job as a car salesman.
