70’s teen heartthrob and Partridge Family member David Cassidy has passed away at that age of 67. CNN reported that earlier in the week that Cassidy had entered the intensive care unit of a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, area hospital. Cassidy found himself in an induced coma battling kidney and liver failure.
A tweet by Cassidy’s nephew, Jack Cassidy, said, “My uncle David Cassidy has sadly passed away tonight… & in the process of mourning I can’t help but thank God for the joy that he brought to countless millions of people! I don’t think I’m alone in saying that we will all miss him. God Speed!”
David’s publicist, JoAnn Geffen, said, “David died surrounded by those he loved, with joy in his heart and free from the pain that had gripped him for so long. Thank you for the abundance of love and support you have shown him these many years.”

I’m Christopher Tahy and I’ve always had rock in my life. I was brought up on Green Day, Billy Idol, Talking Heads, R.E.M, and Dayton’s 104.7 WTUE was always playing in the car — one of the first discs I remember purchasing was a Queen live set. Now that I’m older and have my own family, I find myself diving deeper into the rock music I’ve always loved so much, especially the typical guitar heroes (Gilmour, Hendrix, Page, etc.). My modest (but growing) vinyl collection spans genres and generations, and I’m a guitarist myself at heart. I’m also lucky enough to know the rockers that I know and have great friendships with many musicians in the Dayton music scene and beyond.
In addition to contributing to Rocknuts.net, I also write reviews and vinyl-focused articles for the website I owe a lot of gratitude to, TheFireNote.com. You can reach me at christopher@rocknuts.net.
