John Anthony Panozzo (
September 20 1948 –
July 16 1996) was the drummer for the American rock band
Styx. Panozzo grew up in the Roseland neighborhood, the south side of
Chicago, Illinois with his
fraternal twin brother,
Chuck (born 90 minutes apart). At age 7, the twins took musical lessons from their uncle in which John took an interest in drums and percussion. They attended Catholic school and eventually they were part of a 25-piece accordion band in which John played drums and Chuck played guitar. They would play weddings at age 12 and were paid $15 a piece.
