Heart attack. Grew up watching the reruns. Saw Davy both with the Monkees in 86-87, with Mickey around 93 and solo around 2004. My older son has Sandra Boynton's "Your Personal Penguin", in which Davy sings.

Yet another chunk of my youth gone... :(

Davy was probably my third heart throb (behind Paul and later, George.) RIP, Davy. On to RocknRoll heaven...

Yeah, this has my childhood self's brain a bit messed up.

I met him for a few seconds at a book-signing back in the '80s, of which I remember little beyond that his handlers were mean and he was shorter than I was. (I was about 10.) But a friend of mine worked with him last year or the year before on a kids' song. By all accounts, a genuinely nice man.

Oh, yes Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy. :oops:
My first concert was actually David Cassidy. <shakes head>

Not quite the stuff of Tourzilla.
