Monkees Bandmates Not Attending Service to Avoid "Media Circus"
It may sound disheartening, but the remaining members of The Monkees have good reasoning behind their decision not to attend Davy Jones' private funeral in Florida.
No, it's not because of some rift or anything dramatic like that. Instead, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith just want to avoid any sort of media frenzy that might occur, and provide Jones' family with the opportunity to say their goodbyes in peace.
"My understanding is they want to avoid a media circus … the family wants to keep it very, very low-key and very, very private," Dolenz said to Billboard.
