Colin Burgess, the original drummer of rock band AC/DC, has died at age 77. His death was confirmed by the band in a statement on Facebook. “Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess,” the statement said. “He was our first drummer and a very respected musician.

Happy memories, rock in peace Colin.” No cause of death was initially provided. Burgess, an Australia native, teamed with other members of the first lineup of AC/DC, which also included lead vocalist Dave Evans, Malcolm Young, Angus Young and Larry Van Kriedt.

After starting with the group in 1973, he left the following year. Phil Rudd would go on to become the best-known drummer of AC/DC across three separate stints with the band, which has continued to tour in its sixth decade.

Burgess made later appearances with AC/DC when Bon Scott was their lead singer. Prior to AC/DC, Burgess had been part of Australian group The Masters Apprentices, which had a number of chart hits in the late-1960s and early ’70s.
