Disco will never die, even if drummer dies during song

The drummer of an American disco group suffered a heart attack and died mid-show during a performance in Brazil over the weekend
Brad Parker was performing with his band Generation Esmeralda in Uba, some four hours north of Rio, on Saturday night when he suddenly slumped over his kit and then tumbled off his stool.
Video cameras caught the horrifying moment, as the 59-year-old's bandmates initially kept playing, apparently unaware that Parker was in trouble.

Obligatory, "He died doing what he loved" quote included in story.

 

At least he didn't spontaneously combust.

 

Or die in a bizarre gardening accident. Or choke on someone else's vomit. I wonder if Scotland Yard has the ability to dust for vomit now.

 

Appalling that they didn't hustle to help.

 

Just a bump in the road

 

Maybe he thought they were about to bust into Kool & The Gang's "Get Down" and was just really into it?

OK, kidding aside, that sucks. Prayers for his family.

 

"I will survive!"

Or maybe not.

 

They were not playing Stayin' Alive, correct?

 

The beat didn't go on
