Singer, actor and DJ, Mojo Nixon, known for the 1987 novelty hit Elvis Is Everywhere, has passed away at the age of 66. Nixon, whose real name is Neill Kirby McMillan Jr., was found dead on board the annual Outlaw Country Cruise, where he was a regular presence both as a performer and co-host. He had performed just the night before. The cause of death was cardiac arrest, according to his family.

Born in North Carolina, raised in Virginia, schooled in Ohio, and after traveling to England, Nixon first started playing music in Denver in a punk band known as Zebra 123. Nixon’s breakthrough came with the 1987 album Bo-Day-Shus, which featured the opening track, Elvis Is Everywhere.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
