Damn! Another legend passes.
The man played with groups from the likes of Hawkwind to Public Image Ltd.

Read that he was in a critical state a few days ago, so sad it came to this. Absolutely one of the finest drummers to ever walk the earth. RIP to a legend. I know he loathed heavy metal music, but Cream had a profound influence on it, as well as many other genres. For its time Cream was heavy.

Was on a heavy rotation of Cream and Sabbath for 2-3 years in COLLEGE, and some Doors, even moreso than Zep/VH, etc. Used to crank Fairies Wear Boots, haha. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

Not just one of the greatest rock drummer, but one of the greatest drummers across genres. I hate being so old that my rock idols are leaving the planet. _________________ Not a legend

Yeah, it's going to be a routine thing from here on out. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

It's a sad thing, but such is life. I'm just thankful to have enjoyed the creative treasures of all of these wonderful artists.
He did not think of himself as a rock n roll drummer and his output after Blind Faith sort of bore that out... _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”

The line that smacks me in the face when I read this article is the one that states how watching our rock stars grow old and eventually pass not only is hard, but makes us face our own mortality. Now I'm not a rock star, but I've been a gigging rock musician for over 40 years and yes, I look at these guys and wonder if I've got another 10-15 years left in the tank. It's hard work doing what we do. I definitely feel it more now after playing a 4 hour gig than I did in my 20s. And while I don't live the excessive life of a rock musician anymore, all of that does take its toll as proven by the fact that I've already lost some of my closest musical brothers. Still, I'm thankful for opportunities I've had and don't take any of it for granted. _________________ Not a legend
