Two Rock Icons Die On The Same Day This Weekend

The music industry is mourning as two rock 'n' roll icons from the 1950s to the late 1980s passed away over the weekend.

Below are the rock legends who died over the weekend and whose legacy would live beyond their lifetimes.

1. Jerry Lee Lewis

Rock 'n' roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis, a music icon who rose to fame during the 1950s, passed away at his Mississippi home, south of Memphis, Tennessee, on Friday, representative Zach Farnum confirmed in a statement. He was 87.

The "Great Balls of Fire" singer reportedly died of "natural causes," Farnum told CNN when contacted by phone. His seventh wife, Judith, was reportedly by his side when he died and was told by the music icon that "he welcomed the hereafter, and that he was not afraid," according to the statement.

Lewis was well-known for his killer looks and undeniable talents as he was one of the pioneers that led the rock era along with Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. During his career, he won about three Grammy Awards. He also recorded music with most of the industry's greatest stars, including Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen, B.B. King and George Jones for a track named "Last Man Standing" in 2006, and with Jagger, Keith Richards, Sheryl Crow, Tim McGraw and other music icons for his 40th studio album "Mean Old Man," the Associated Press reported.

The rock singer, dubbed "The Killer," was given a second chance at his career following various marriage scandals starting in 1958, including one when the press discovered that he married 13-year-old (possibly 12) Myra Gale Brown, who was also his cousin, while still being married to his second wife. The rock singer was married about seven times before he finally settled down.

2. Darren Henley a.k.a "Peligro"

'70s rock band Dead Kennedys' drummer D.H. Peligro, born Darren Henley, died on Friday due to trauma to the head caused by an "accidental fall," the band announced through their official Instagram account.

"Dead Kennedys' drummer D.H. Peligro (Darren Henley) passed away in his Los Angeles home yesterday, October 28th," the band revealed. "Police on the scene stated that he died from trauma to the head caused by an accidental fall. Arrangements are pending and will be announced in the coming days."

They continued, "We ask that you respect the family's privacy during this difficult time. Thank you for your thoughts and words of comfort."

Unnamed sources told TMZ that paramedics responded to the drummer's San Fernando Valley home at around 7 p.m., where his body was found in a bathroom at the back of the house. He was pronounced dead on the scene; however, law enforcement is investigating the incident because they have allegedly ruled that the fall was "incidental."

Henley made his first debut with the band in 1981, upon the release of the EP "In God We Trust, Inc." He replaced the original drummer Bruce "Ted" Slesinger. The band was originally composed of singer Jello Biafra, guitarist East Bay Ray, bassist Klaus Flouride, and Slesinger, Pitchfork reported. In 1986, the Dead Kennedys disbanded.
