>From Wikipedia: "Evans was killed by police on 5 January 1976 at his home in *Los Angeles*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles>. Officers were called when his girlfriend phoned the police and told them that Evans was confused and had a gun. The police believed that the *air rifle* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_rifle> Evans was holding was a rifle and shot him dead."
According to more details there he was on Valium, but my memory of the event (as reported by the national media) says he was on PCP). Hmmmmmmm, I know the book I'm using is flawed (at least one rock star being born twice....about 2 weeks apart), but Wiki says Mal was killed on the January 5th, my dodgy book, the 3rd. BTW, the book is "On This Day in Rock'nRoll History". a freebie handed out by Maxell...and worth every penny!!
