DAVIE, Fla. -- Danny Joe Brown, the lead singer of the Southern rock band Molly Hatchet, died of complications from diabetes, his family said Monday. He was 53.

Brown died Thursday at his home in Davie, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, his sister Lyndia Brown said.

"He had been in the hospital for about four weeks before he died, and he wanted to come home and he was home for 30 minutes when he died," Lyndia Brown told The Associated Press. "He was surrounded by his children and his wife."

In 1975, the Jacksonville native joined Molly Hatchet, named after a Southern prostitute who allegedly beheaded and mutilated her clients. Brown was frontman for its self-titled album in 1978, which went platinum. In 1979 the next album, "Flirtin' With Disaster," sold over 2 million copies.

Damn...I loved Molly Hatchet..RIP.. :(

Too bad... if your a guitar player, there is a piece of trivia you might love...

During one of the early Volunteer Jam concerts (a fund raiser thing mostly run by Charlie Daniels and his band, it seemd) Molly Hatchet, The daniels band, and Ted Nugent ( and a couple of other spare players) on stage together for a rousing rendition of "Mississippi Queen"... about 12 or 14 guitar players for a one piece song.

Funny stuff.
