66 is a rather young age to die,(at least when we are our age) and so Davy Jones of the old Monkees TV group in the 60's dies in Florida.(Reuters) - Davy Jones, former lead singer of the 1960s made-for-television pop band The Monkees, died on Wednesday at a hospital in Florida, according to an official from the local medical examiner's office.
Jones, 66, born in Manchester, England, became the principal teen idol of the rock quartet featured on the NBC comedy series "The Monkees," which was inspired in part by the Beatles film "A Hard Day's Night" and ran from the fall of 1966 to August of 1968.
Although not allowed to play their own instruments on their early records, Jones and his three cohorts - Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork - had several hits that sold millions of copies, including "Last Train to Clarksville" and "I'm a Believer."

66, that's certainly young. I will be 82 in may and still going strong. Of course I did not lead an active life like the Monkey's.
Guy
It certainly is,but how about Gary Carter the longtime favourite Expos catcher,
he died last week, at only 57 years old. You are fortunate Guy if you have decent health, like they say appreciate your family & friends.
