RIP: Fred White (Earth Wind Fire)

Verdeen White's brother, and drummer for Earth Wind & Fire, Fred White has passed away. Verdeen said his brother is "drumming with the angels."

Fred was a prodigy and joined his brother's band when he was only 19 years old.

Fred was 67.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Also, the great Maurice White's brother... Fred White was a GREAT live drummer during EW&F concerts and shows...he also played drums on tour for Donny Hathaway before he joined his older brothers in Earth Wind & Fire...very sad news that he passed away...very sad
