We would like to extend our sincere condolences to Danny McBride’s family. Danny passed away this morning, July 23rd, 2009, at 4 AM in his sleep from heart failure. He and Chico were very good friends and one of the last things he did was write the bio about Rainface. Chico was responsible for getting him the audition for Sha Na Na. We love you Danny and we will miss you. The Sha Na Na wing is starting to fill up and it’s heartbreaking. We hope you know how much we appreciated you contributing to this website. May you and Chico rock and roll the heavens for eternity. Rest in peace.
