Dale Griffin, a drummer for British glam-rock stalwarts Mott the Hoople, has died at age 67.

He died Sunday, Peter Purnell, of Mott’s label Angel Air Records, told the BBC. He had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease a decade ago.

A native of Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, he was a founding member of the group, which took its name from a British novel of the 1960s and featured singer Ian Hunter and guitarist Mick Ralphs.
