December 22, 2002, Joe Strummer, lead singer/guitarist/songwriter for one of the worlds best punk band The Clash, died of a heart attack in his home in England. Joe was only 50 years old.

Today is Joe Strummer’s 63rd birthday. Joe was the driving force of the band The Clash and he died way too young at the age of 50 from a undiagnosed congenital heart defect. Joe’s birthday is being celebrated on ebay with the sale of a 1963 Ford Thunderbird that he bought in 1987 for $4,200.
