Local drummer Jimmy Pagano died early Sunday morning at Fishtales Bar & Grill in Fort Lauderdale. He was 54. He was trying to break up a fight on a night that he was playing at the venue. Tributes are currently pouring in on his Facebook page, and a special tribute page has been started, as well.

Other bar patrons approached, and the man stabbed
