For those of you who dont know, heres some info about them 
John(Alec)Entwistle(Born October 9, 1944, Chiswick, England) was a very famous english musician, best known for being the bassist for 'The Who'. He was nicknamed Thunderfingers for simply the way his fingers moved around while he stood totally still. A more well known nickname for him was The Ox, given to him by bandmates for his seeming ability to just overall do more than all of them. Before joining The Who, he played french horn in a band, The Confederates, with soon-to-be Who guitarist on banjo. He is later recruited by The Detours, who through many line-ups and name changes would become The Who. Unknown to many, he was also quite the artist, and one of his works was made into the album cover for 'The Who by numbers'. He passed away June 27, 2002, after suffering a heart attack. He wouldve been 65.
