I love The Monkees music, and watched and enjoyed the tv series when i was younger. A sad loss to the music world!

No denying they made some great songs a sad loss RIP

Another little part of my childhood dies. RIP

Have to say this was a true shock when i heard it on the news,i remember the Monkees with a real fondness,it was a great time for New Music.

It was only a few days ago when I was watching Davy Jones on Pop Life: I'm in a Boyband on BBC Two. He looked well for his sixty six years, so I was surprised to hear of his passing.
He said in the programme, "As a cute, little guy, I have no problem with that. Just don't tap me on the head, you know, cos I'll knock you out!" True Brit grit!
Watch Pop Life: I'm in a Boyband. Available until 9:19pm, Saturday 17 March, 2012.

Outnumbered kids did a verison of hey hey we are the monkees, i think its best tribute paid to davy jones.

As well as gaining fame in the Monkees, he also made an appearance on Coronation St as Ena Sharples grandson..

It's believed that he had a heart attack.

Wrongly labelled as the 1st manufactured boy band,who cares great tunes.

In his sleep. Way to go, won't even know he's dead, no idea about it.

Just a decade or two too young.

Very sad... So youthful one forgets Davy was 66
