Legendary punk rock drummer Chuck Biscuits died Saturday, Oct. 24, after a battle with throat cancer. Biscuits, who got his start with Vancouver's D.O.A. in 1978 at the age of 13 and played with Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Danzig and Social Distortion, was 44 years old.

"In response to the inquiries, thank you for all the support," an anonymous family member wrote in an e-mail sent to fans early Wednesday. "Chuck did not survive his battle with throat cancer. He passed surrounded by his family on 10/24/09."
