Vinnie Paul –
Musician, producer, tipsy texan.
March 11, 1964 – June 22, 2018.
Aged 54 years.
Most recognized for: With his brother Darrel “Dimebag” Abbot, they formed heavy metal game-changers Pantera. The hard-partying siblings later split off and formed Damageplan, which ended with Dimebag’s onstage murder in 2004. Vinnie’s last project, Hellyeah, was on a successful run… and shortly after recording the drum tracks for their 6th album, he lost the beat.
