Sad news. Sounds like he was the kind of guy who would have been good to know.  :(
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Another great drummer has gone to the rhythm section in the sky: Lee Kerslake, former Uriah Heep (and Ozzy Osbourne) drummer  :'(

Very sad to hear that.  :(.....There can only be two of the original band left now.

The very sad loss yesterday of Steve Hacker - a UK west country wargamer - a true gentleman.

I totally agree with Will & Davy's sentiments. :(

Cheers - Phil

Yeah, Sad. In my brief teenage exploration of Hard Rock, the intro to "Ain't Talkin'' was a real 'hair raiser'!

Next birthday I'll be passing my father, though he smoked heavily and was an alcoholic, so all in all I'm not worrying too much about it.
