SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Keith Knudsen, the longtime Doobie Brothers drummer who was part of the band during a string of hits that included "Taking it to the Streets" and "Black Water," died of pneumonia Tuesday. He was 56.


Knudsen had been hospitalized for more than a month, according to the band's longtime manager Bruce Cohn.


"I just saw him Sunday, just before the Super Bowl," Cohn said. "He was in good spirits. He was weak, but he was OK."


Knudsen began drumming in eighth grade and joined the Doobie Brothers in 1974. "After a week's rehearsal, I went on the road with the band," Knudsen said in his biography on the band's Web site.


"It left him weak and I don't think he ever fully regained all his strength," Johnston said. He said the band was currently performing about 100 concerts a year and is scheduled to release a new album this summer.
