Yeah, I read about it the day after it happened, sucks for sure. I looked up the Outlaws after that and was surprised to see that Billy Jones Killed himself a while back, he was a great player as well, maybe better than hughie even...

I saw the Outlaws several times back in the day and they were alot of damn fun...
