Colin Burgess<\/strong> — the original drummer for AC\/DC — has died, this according to the heavy metal band’s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted Friday night, the iconic group wrote, “Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess. He was our first drummer and a very respected musician. Happy memories, rock in peace Colin.” His cause of death was not disclosed.<\/p>\n

In 1973, Burgess became a member of AC\/DC with sibling guitarists Angus<\/strong> and Malcolm Young<\/strong>, singer Dave Evans<\/strong> and bassist Larry Van Kriedt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Burgess didn’t last very long after AC\/DC cut their first hit, “Can I Sit Next to You Girl” and played their first gig at Chequers nightclub in Sydney, Australia.<\/p>\n

Within a year, Burgess was given the boot after the band accused him of getting wasted on stage during a 1974 performance. The drummer tried to save his job by claiming someone had spiked his drink, but his excuse fell on deaf ears.<\/p>\n

AC\/DC replaced him with a number of other drummers, including longtime member Phil Rudd<\/strong>. The group even re-recorded “Can I Sit Next To You Girl” with Rudd on drums.<\/p>\n

\"Colin<\/p>\n

Burgess also played drums in a popular Australian rock band called The Masters Apprentices between 1968 to 1972. In 1988, he and the other members of the group were inducted into Australia’s ARIA Hall Of Fame.<\/p>\n

Burgess was 77.<\/p>\n

RIP<\/p>\n
