Oh no!! The Monkees' Davy Jones is dead.

Davy Jones died of a heart attack today. The Monkees may have been a "manufactured" group, but they were fantastically talented and had a string of remarkable hits, many of which are still popular today, more than 40 years later.

A little known fact, Davy Jones of The Monkees is the reason that David Bowie is known as David Bowie. Bowie's real name is David Jones and he took the new last name so as not to be confused with The Monkees' lead singer.
