Drummer Alex Kirst Found Dead

Alex Kirst, 47, a drummer associated with Iggy Pop and ’80s alternative band The Nymphs, was found dead alongside a road in Cathedral City, Calif., Jan. 13.

Police say he was a victim of a hit-and-run and have released the description of the vehicle (a 2000-2006 Chevy/GMC Tahoe/Yukon), according to Palm Springs’ Desert Sun.

Kirst and brother Whitey were members of The Trolls, a project fronted by Iggy Pop, that released albums in 2001 and 2003. Kirst reportedly moved to Cathedral City to be near a friend after his music career waned.
