Razzle, alias Nicholas Dingley (December 2, 1960–December 9, 1984) was the drummer of Hanoi Rocks from 1982 until his death. He was born in Royal Leamington Spa, England by a young single mother who thought it was best to give him away for adoption, this went ahead and he grew up as the only child of Henry and Irene Dingley in Coventry.
In late 1984 Hanoi Rocks was on their first American tour, however Michael Monroe fractured his ankle so the band had to skip a few gigs and take a break. During that break Razzle decided to visit his friend, Mötley Crüe's singer Vince Neil, in California. On December 8, Razzle visited Neil's home and spent the day at Malibu Beach; ironically, one of Hanoi Rocks' most popular songs is Malibu Beach Nightmare. The two deciced to take a trip in Neil's Ford Pantera. Because he was both speeding and drunk driving, Neil lost control of the car and hit an opposing vehicle. The two occupants of the other car were seriously injured but Razzle took the worst of it. He was taken to South Bay ER but was declared DOA at 19:12, 9th December GMT, as his headstone on Isle of Wight reads.
