Mickey Finn (musician)

Mickey Finn was the percussionist/drummer with the 1970s glam rock group T. Rex (formerly known as Tyrannosaurus Rex). Marc Bolan asked Finn to join the band in the late 1960s and reportedly only hired Finn for his good looks and not for his musical ability. In the late 1990s, Finn formed Mickey Finn's T.Rex with former T. Rex members Paul Fenton and Jack Green. In 2002, to commemorate Bolan's death in 1977, Mickey Finn's T.Rex played in front of more than 2,000 people, with Bolan's son Rolan Bolan guesting. Just over three months after this gig, on 11 January, 2003, Finn died, but the band continues to play as a celebration of Bolan and Finn.
