John Mayhew
March 27, 1947 – March 26, 2009

John Mayhew was an English drummer who is best remembered as the third one in the progressive rock band, Genesis.  He joined the group in 1969, replacing John Silver.  He was then replaced by Phil Collins a year later.  During his short tenure, Mayhew played on Tresspass.   Not much is known about Mayhew’s post-Genesis life, many in fact, assumed he had died since rumors circulated that he had never claimed a royalty check.  He did resurface at a Genesis convention in 2006.  John Mayhew passed away on March 26, 2009.
