    Alan Myers, the long-time drummer for the US new wave band Devo, has died, aged 58, after suffering from cancer. Myers died on Monday in Los Angeles.

    Not a household name, but he was known as 'The Human Metronome', when people first heard them, they thought he was a drum machine.

    My first band used to do this one...
