Rock musician Dave Rowberry, keyboard player for the top 1960s band the Animals, was found dead Friday in his London apartment, a fellow band member said. He was 62.
Drummer John Steel said Rowberry, who had heart problems, was found dead by Animals bassist Jim Rodford.
The original band, featuring Eric Burdon on vocals, formed in 1964 and had hits including House of the Rising Sun and Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood.
Rowberry joined the band in 1965, replacing original keyboard player Alan Price. The group continued shifting members and eventually split up toward the end of the decade but the members got together sporadically. AP
