From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tommy 'Zeke' Zettner was a member of rock band The Stooges. Zettner had originally been a roadie for the band, but replaced original Stooges bassist Dave Alexander after the Fun House album (1970). Alexander's drinking problem had made him an unreliable performer.
Zettner himself was a heroin addict, and did not last long as a member of The Stooges. Jimmy Recca soon replaced him as bass player. Zettner died of a heroin overdose on 10 November 1973. His death is mentioned in Iggy's song 'The Dum Dum Boys' from The Idiot
