1956 – December 9, 1987
Will Shatter played bass and sang lead for San Fransisco post-hardcore band, Flipper. Though they never achieved much fame outside their core fan base, they are considered a strong influence on many of today’s punk bands. They were also critics’ darlings based in part on their signature song, “Sex Bomb.” Sadly, Shatter died of a heroin overdose on December 9, 1987, destroying any chance the band had to achieve the acclaim they deserved.
