Blackie Onassis, Drummer for ’90s Alt Rockers Urge Overkill, Dies at 57

Blackie Onassis, Drummer for ’90s Alt Rockers Urge Overkill, Dies at 57

Johnny Rowan, who drummed for ’90s alt rockers Urge Overkill under the name Blackie Onassis, has died at age 57, the band announced Wednesday (June 14).

“Urge Overkill is saddened to report that Blackie has passed away,” read a post on the band’s social media accounts. “Please respect our privacy at this time. We are sending much love to his family and all his fans. We know he will be missed.” In a second post, the band thanked fans for their “love and support” following the news and shared a recent photo of Rowan with actor/musician Jack Black. “Thank you for the love and support today. We wanted to share this photo of Blackie, we hope you like it as much as we do.”

Rowan — who joined the band in 1991, ahead of the band’s major-label signing to Geffen — drummed on Urge Overkill’s best-known hit: their cover of Neil Diamond’s “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” for the Pulp Fiction soundtrack in 1994. The song was the Chicago band’s lone Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at No. 59. It topped out at No. 11 on the Alternative Airplay chart, and the song’s music video was nominated for best video from a film at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards. The Pulp Fiction soundtrack peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 and spent a hefty 107 weeks on the chart.

Urge Overkill also had a top 10 rock and alternative hit in “Sister Havana” from Saturation, their first album for Geffen in 1993. “Sister Havana” peaked at No. 6 on Alternative Airplay and No. 10 on Modern Rock Airplay.

Exit the Dragon, the band’s second and final album for Geffen in 1995, was also the last UO album for Rowan, who didn’t rejoin the group when it re-formed in 2004. Onassis did, however, team with Urge Overkill frontman Nash Kato to co-write six songs on his 2000 solo debut Debutante.

WATCH: Karin Smyth unveils new Labour plans to cover travel costs for children with cancer

Health Minister Karin Smyth MP unveils new Government plans to cover the travel cost of treatment for children with cancer.Speaking to GB News, Ms Smyth said: "This is really the central ask of children and their families who are diagnosed and being treated for cancer. I met some people involved in the campaign at Downing Street last night,they've been talking about this campaign for 20 years as part of our national cancer plan. "The problem for them was that travelling is one of those additional worries on top of the already shocking diagnosis when you have a child with with cancer, about 9,500 families are affected by this, and help with those travel costs mean that some people have told us that they are making real, difficult choices about other support to their families, including good food and support to their families, so making sure that those travel costs are covered takes a little bit of the worry off of families at that particularly troubling time."WATCH ABOVE.
