There are three rules to playing with Donne Langlois: you can't miss practices, never be late and he can't drink until the last set. Those rules have provided the means for the 59-year-old drummer to overcome alcoholism, a physical disease and his troubled past to make the most of his last opportunity before hanging up his drumsticks this Thursday night.
“I cannot give enough credit to this band for giving me another chance to play music and I have graciously accepted the gift,” Langlois said. “But after this night, I'm done. I'm tired. It wasn't the music, but the politics of running a band that tired me out.”
