Powerhouse drummer with Tear Gas (later to become the Sensational Alex Harvey Band), Rory Gallagher, Michael Schenker, he has passed away due to complications during a surgical operation (hernia I believe) aged 68.
I remember first seeing him playing with the Dream Police and then Tear Gas early 70’s. I last saw him a few years ago with Gerry McAvoy and a Dutch guitarist doing Rory Gallagher songs. Gone too soon.
