DEAD DRUMMER PROPPED UP BEHIND KIT FOR FUNERAL

Brentnol McPherson, a drummer from Guyana, died earlier this year in Canada. To celebrate his life as a musician, family and friends posed his body behind a drum kit while music played at his funeral service. The funeral was held in Toronto back on April 23rd. Dressed in a yellow track suit, Brent’s body was displayed propped up behind a blue memorial drum kit with “Bonny Brent (his stage name) 1952-2021” on the kick drum. They put drumsticks in his hands.
