\"\"MOS EISLEY\u00a0– Droopy McCool, chidnkalu horn player for the Max Rebo band, was found dead in his hotel room. He was 137 years old.<\/p>\n

An autopsy is scheduled, but authorities said all signs point to an overdose.<\/p>\n

McCool battled a longtime addiction to glitterstim and in his later years allegedly became hooked on sweetblossom and joydust.<\/p>\n

Sympathy from all parts of the music industry is already flowing in, showing how well loved the musician was.<\/p>\n

“Shucks, man, he was such a groovy guy,” said Rebo. “He got such a bad rap because he wasn’t that out-going, but once you got to know him, he was a lifelong friend. I miss him already.”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, he had is problems. But what Kitonak do you know that doesn’t? It’s not easy going through life sober looking like that,” said Sy Snootles, vocalist for the band.<\/p>\n

Rebo said McCool’s death won’t slow down the band’s current tour.<\/p>\n

“We had a feeling Droopy was fading fast, so we’ve got someone lined up.\u00a0He’s a Rodian and a bit of a chidnkalu prodigy. I know Droopy’s seat is still warm, but we’ve got to fulfill the rest of the tour. It’s the professional thing to do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
