Death notice for Gene Summers (wiki), aged 82, American rockabilly singer.
Passed away after a long hospitalisation due to an injury incurred at home.
No hits in the U.K. but seems to have been quite the storm Stateside. A member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame too.
Funking pissed at the end of Daft Punk!!

The announcement seems a bit out of the blue. Maybe one of them has been given bad news and they're just getting their affairs in order.
It seems to be what the video is alluding to with only one of them walking off into the sunset.

That would certainly be one of the more novel ways of announcing a terminal illness, but I hope not. "Guy/Thomas has passed away after a short battle with an explosive device inside him".
Funnily enough I've just been referred to Guys' and St Thomas' hospital.

The obit never says he was the last surviving member, and seeing as he was the patriarch with his four sons, unless he outlived all his kids I doubt it's possible.
