Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Dead Kennedys’ drummer DH Peligro has died at the age of 63.

The musician, real name Darren Henley, suffered a head trauma after hitting his head in a fall at his home in Los Angeles and died shortly after on Friday, 28 October.

The drummer enjoyed a brief stint with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in 1988, but was best known for being a member of The Dead Kennedys.

As the news of his passing was announced, the band wrote: "Dead Kennedys' drummer D.H. Peligro (Darren Henley) passed away in his Los Angeles home yesterday, Oct 28th.

"He died from trauma to his head from an accidental fall. Arrangements are pending will be announced in the coming days.

"Thank you for your thoughts and words of comfort."

Darren replaced the original drummer of The Dead Kennedys in 1981 and stayed with the group until their break up in 1986.

He then joined the rock band Red Hot Chilli Peppers in 1988 – taking over from drummer Jack Irons.
