Andrew Koenig

Andrew Koenig - February 25, 2010

This is a bit of a stretch for the slab, considering this person is really a "D" list celebrity, and is only in the news because of the Olympics and the fact that he's Mr. Chekov's son... but still... actor Andrew Koenig, who has been missing since February 14, committed suicide, his father told reporters after his son's body was found Thursday in a park in Vancouver, British Columbia.

May he be able to find all the nuclear "wessels" that he was unable to find in normal life.

Doug Fieger

Doug Fieger - February 14, 2010

Doug Fieger, lead singer for The Knack, has lost his battle with brain cancer. He was 57.

If you Slabbers have 99 cents to spare, your Slab Master highly recommends his last recording "Dirty Girl" on former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick's newest album BK3. A really good song highlighting Doug's vocal work.
