Popular ‘90s punk rocker dead at 51

Carl Bevan

Carl Bevan of the 60ft Dolls has died.

Carl Bevan, the former drummer for the popular ‘90s punk rock band 60ft Dolls, has died, according to multiple reports.

He was 51.

No cause of death has been reported.

The 60ft Dolls were popular enough to play alongside the likes of Oasis and the Sex Pistols and even played the Glastonbury Festival in 1998 before they split up, according to the BBC.

Bevan was the band’s drummer during its five-year run. The 60ft Dolls released three albums and two EPs across that span.

The BBC said that the band also “shared bills with the Foo Fighters and Iggy Pop,” and played a handful of other popular festivals.

The site said that after Bevan got out of music he took up landscape painting.

“Painting has been amazing for my sanity, especially in lockdown,” he reportedly said back in 2020 during the height of the COVID pandemic.
