The music world mourns the loss of two influential figures, Dexter Romweber of the Flat Duo Jets and Greg 'Fritz' Hinz of Helix. Romweber, known for his pioneering work in the guitar-and-drums duo Flat Duo Jets, passed away at the age of 57. His remake of the 1958 Phoenix rockabilly classic "Mexicali Baby" by The Rio Rockers is among his notable contributions. Tributes have poured in, with Jack White highlighting Romweber's unique contribution to music, stating, "To call him Punk would be like calling the Great Pyramid a sand castle...They don't make them like Dex anymore, not till we get our act together as humans." Greg 'Fritz' Hinz, the drummer for the Canadian hard rock band Helix, has also passed away at the age of 68 after a secret battle with cancer.
