Jonah Ellis dies

It is with great sadness that we announce the sad loss of ex Drifter Jonah Ellis, who died last week. Jonah was
a member of The Drifters line up in the mid eighties.

Michael Williams says: "It is really sad news. We met up with Jonah last year when we played at the
O2 in London with the Legends and we all had a truly memorable evening. Jonah was a highly respected
member of this line up and he will missed by so many. On behalf of The Drifters and PMG, I would like to send our
condolences to Jonah's family and friends at this sad time."

In addition to having been the musical director/guitarist and later vocalist with The Drifters, Jonah was also a former lead guitarist with The Temptations, and an accomplished songwriter and producer as well.
