Southend Punk was saddened to hear of the passing of Howie Pyro, aged 61. Howie was best known as a founding member of New York City punk band D Generation. Jesse Malin, Pyro’s close friend and bandmate in D Generation, confirmed in a statement that Pyro died from COVID-19-related pneumonia on May 4th, 2022 following a long battle with liver disease.
