Lee Kerslake, best known for his work drumming for Uriah Heap and Ozzy Osbourne one his first two solo albums. Treated atrociously by Sharon Osbourne and denied his fair share of royalty payments. In the end he had to beg for his platinum discs for those two first albums from the Osbournes. How they sleep at night I don't know. Anyway I digress, RIP Lee you are free from the cancer that took your life at 73.

Pure greed isn't it Wurzel, think Ozzy re-recorded them in the end didn't he? To cut the others out.

Yeah, sad news. Prostate cancer. I knew him more with Uriah Heep.


Rest In Peace Lee.

Yes he did and tbh I don't buy this nonsense that it was all Sharon, Ozzy is a grown man after all.

Perhaps not charity exactly, but wasn't sure where else to post this. RIP Carl. Mental health, especially men's mental health, is still, tragically, taboo for far too many.

Used to go to Edwards Rock Club every Saturday. At 11pm (I think) they would play the start to Eruption as a "we're starting the night now". Such a buzz we'd get from that electric burst of guitar....
