Got a text from a friend of mine that is close to the WSP circle and he said Todd Nance, former Panic drummer, has passed on after a brief hospital stay.

Go fvck your own hole, 2020.

Wow.

They lost Houser at 40 and now Todd at 57.

Any idea the cause?

He's had a horrible alcohol and pain pill problem for several years now. It's why he was asked to leave the band.

Really sad final chapter to his life. RIP

From the Nance Family:
It is with great sadness that we announce that Todd Nance, a founding member of Widespread Panic, passed away early this morning in Athens, GA from sudden and unexpectedly severe complications of a chronic illness. There are no services being planned at this time, but information will be shared as decisions are made regarding the best way to honor Todd’s extraordinary life and career. The Nance family appreciates the love and support of all and requests that their privacy be honored during this hard time.




With heavy Hearts and Loving memories we say good bye to our Brother Todd Alton Nance. Widespread Panic was born the night of Todd’s first show. He and Mikey had played music together in High school (maybe Junior high) and with a lucky thought, Michael tracked him down and asked him to join us - because we had a gig, but needed a drummer. For thirty years Todd was the engine of the Widespread Panic. He wrote great songs, and was a giving and forgiving collaborator. T Man was the epitome of a “team player.” Drove the Band and drove the van.

Funny, adventurous, and a very kind Soul, we wish Todd and his Family peace during this sad time after so many happy times.
Safe travels, Brother Todd.

With Love, the Boys and Girls of Widespread Panic

Not a flashy drummer but an absolute metronome. Good guy too I hear. RIP
