Zeke Zettner

Thomas "Zeke" Zettner (September 21, 1948 – November 10, 1973) 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) until the end of 1970.[1][2] Jimmy Recca soon replaced him as bass player. Alexander's drinking problem had made him an unreliable performer.
