I have just added this description to the video for those who may not have heard about Richie's ailment.

I mourn the passing of one of the drumming world's true giants of innovation. I have admired Richie's grooves and style my whole life and I love everything he played on - not just the Feat's stuff but all his side projects too. I will miss Richie's influence in my drumming life although I was never lucky enough to meet him. xx

Richie passed away this morning. May he & Lowell be jamming (not resting) tonight.

@LittleFeatArchive Ritchie was and is a huge influence on my playing.His style is like no other.Had the pleasure to open for the Feat in 1998 at the Odeon Concert Club in Cleveland and I was like a sissy in Boys Town.God bless Ritchie Hayward.

Blessings to Richie. Good to see the shirt design used here. Too bad the poster wasn't used, amazing hand-lettering. I enjoyed making the shirt design and can't wait to get one.

LF Crew, let me know if you need anything, I have a great album layout for Feat. I knew Richie from Topanga and was raised on the music, favorite band for 20+ years.
