Organizers of the London Olympics approached the Who's manager to inquire about having Keith Moon play at an Olympics event despite the drummer being dead for nearly 34 years, the Sunday Times reports.

"I emailed back saying Keith now resides in Golders Green crematorium, having lived up to the Who's anthemic line 'I hope I die before I get old'," the band's longtime manager, Bill Curbishley, told the Times. "If they have a round table, some glasses and candles, we might contact him."

Moon died in 1978 at the age of 32 from an an accidental overdose of prescription pills. The Olympics organizers wanted the late drummer to take part in the Symphony of Rock, a celebration of British pop culture that will be part of the Games' closing ceremony on August 12th.

THere are more good dead rockers than live ones, that's for sure. The current crop blows. :yuck:

John Bonham was their 2nd choice but he still hasn't responded. Fingers crossed! :gomer:

As long as they don't get in touch with Spinal Tap they'll find a drummer somewhere.

Bonham and Spinal Tap first came to mind when I first heard about this today (and Def Leppard). :)

Ex Rainbow/MSG/Sabbath drummer Cozy Powell was asked to do his bombastic 1812 overture but has also been unavailable since April 1998 .

This reminds me of when the queen knighted Jimmy Page for his work with Brazillion orphans, and she didn't know who he was.

Jimena and Jimmy Page have been together since around 1994, when she was 17 and they married in the late 90's

The folks who wrote that web page have some math issues. In the first sentence they say she was born in 1972 and then they say she was 17 when Page met her in 1994. My math has her being 22 when they met which is good because she had already had her first child 6 months prior to meeting Page.

Maybe John, Paul, George, and Ringo can reunite in time for this summer's Olympic Games in London too. :gomer:
