Vinnie Paul Dies; Beloved Drummer Was 54
Vinne Paul, a veteran musician in the heavy metal music industry and a founding member of the band Pantera, died this week from unknown causes.
He was 54 years old.
The drummer’s death was announced by Pantera on Saturday via Twitter, as the group simply posted the following message:

Paul is best known for his work as the drummer in the bands Pantera and Hellyeah. No further details are available at this time.
