Carl Bevan, the drummer of the punk band 60 Ft Dolls, who supported Oasis on tour and played Glastonbury, has died at the age of 51, his girlfriend confirms
Drummer Carl Bevan, of the punk band 60 Ft Dolls, has died at the age of 51. The musician is best known for supporting Oasis on tour and also performing at Glastonbury in 1997. His partner, Bev, confirmed his death with a post on Facebook that said: "Hello everyone, this is Bev, Carl's girlfriend. I'm heartbroken to say that our lovely, crazy boy has sadly passed very suddenly.”
60 Ft Dolls formed in Newport, Wales in 1992. Original band members Richard Parfitt and Michael Cole needed a drummer, and asked Carl to join the group. The band was described by music magazine NME as: “grunge mod… proto-pub metal blues of the first order.” In the 1990s, the band toured with acts including Veruca Salt, Oasis, Elastica, and Skunk Anansie, and they were championed by BBC Radio 1 DJ Steve Lamacq.
