Dennis Thompson, the drummer for influential Detroit rock band MC5, has died at the age of 75.
Thompson, who was the last surviving member of the group after the death of guitarist Wayne Kramer in February, died in a Michigan nursing home on Thursday. He had been recovering after a heart attack in April, his son Chris McNulty told Detroit News.
“He was a true, free-spirited rock and roller up until the very last day,” McNulty said.
