Can he just make a humble reappearance please? Like I just want to know he’s somewhere near Santa Barbara eating avocados and fixing motorcycles and still listening to the Rolling Stones on the radio. Then he can go back to being a hermit I promise.

Can u pls talk about Izzy’s parents

Richard Clyde Isbell (born in 1940, Lafayette)

Occupations: Alcoa plant worker (1961), later precision engraver

He married Sonja LaVern (Reagan) in Tippecanoe County on August 10, 1961. They had three sons: Jeffrey (Izzy) in 1962, Kevin Thomas Isbell in 1965, and Joseph “Joe” Isbell in 1968. They got divorced in 1970.

In 1975 he married Beverly Jack (Toledo, OH) and had two daughters (Sara, born in 1983 and Lesley, born in 1987).

Sonja LaVern (Reagan) Isbell (born in 1940, Lafayette ??)

Occupation: telephone operator

Following the divorce, she moved with Izzy, Kevin and Joe to Lafayette, raising them there. Izzy credits her as the supportive parent: “My mum was 100 per cent supportive – loved music, let Axl [Rose] and I play in our garage… My parents split when I was third grade”.

Elizabeth Adeline Isbell (née Barton, 1916–1990), Izzy’s grandmother

A Lafayette jazz musician, she played drums in the “High Notes Organ Club” swing band. Izzy cites her as a major influence: “My biggest musical influence was my paternal grandmother, who played drums in a swing jazz band with her friends”. Elizabeth died Mar 5, 1990 in Lafayette.

This is all I could find !

“Not long before the Rolling Stones concerts, Rose received a birthday present from Stradlin, an expensive Gretsch rockabilly guitar. Trying in his own way to wake up Stradlin about his cocaine problem, Rose smashed the guitar to pieces and sent the shattered remains back to him with a note attached reading: COCAINE SUCKS.”
