CHICAGO – Davy Jones, the heartthrob leader of the 1960s band The Monkees, has passed away of a massive heart attack in his sleep. His publicist confirmed the news that Jones suffered the heart attack and died in Indiantown, FL, where he had been living. Jones was 66.
As part of The Monkees, Jones sang lead on songs such as “Daydream Believer,” “Last Train to Clarksville,” and “I’m a Believer.” The band was originally formed for the American TV show “The Monkees,” which aired from 1966 to 1968. The show was cancelled in 1968, but the band continued to record music until 1970. After leaving The Monkees, Jones continued on with music, releasing his own solo albums in the years after, as well as making appearances on the television shows “Love American Style” and “The Brady Bunch.” He also appeared in cameo roles on “SpongeBob SquarePants,” “Boy Meets World,” “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” and “The Brady Bunch Movie.”
Jones had continued to perform live in the years since The Monkees and he even had performance dates scheduled for March. Jones is survived by his wife and four daughters and leaves a legacy as one of the greatest teen heartthrobs in American history.
