Replacements Drummer Is Dead

August 27, 2008

He manned the Replacements throne from 1990 to 1991, but now Steve Foley is no more. He died last weekend from a prescription drug overdose; he was only 49 years old. Doubly tragic, he’d also been working as a car salesman in Minneapolis before his death—no way for a brother thumper to spend his final days. Check out the MTV vid below for a little bit about the Replacements’ final year on the road and how Foley got the gig.
