Hi, what are you looking for?

RIP

Drummer Bill Rieflin (MINISTRY, KING CRIMSON, NINE INCH NAILS) Dead At 59

Dude played basically everything.

Bill Rieflin

Bill Rieflin, whose résumé included percussion and instrumental contributions to Ministry, King Crimson, Nine Inch Nails, Swans, KMFDM, and R.E.M has passed on at 59 years old.

Despite all his contributions to these bands both in the studio and live, Rieflin never joined any of the bands he played with on a permanent basis. He passed away from complications with cancer.

Thanks for all the music, Bill.
