Ken Russell:
As a nurse practicing in geriatric centers, I have learned that everyone has a history. People of today who didn’t grow up with the band might have seen him, stricken, and completely ignored him. What a mistake. No one would have ever guessed that this fat man in the wheelchair was one of the greatest rock drummers who ever lived. Instead they would rather praise the virtues of thugs, and burn down cities. I have spent many hours listening to Lee, and would rate him as one of my five favorite rock drummers, along with Ringo, Bonzo, Rod Coombes, and Ian Pace. RIP Lee Kerslake.
Lee Kerslake (16 April 1947 – 19 September 2020) was an English musician, best known as the longtime drummer and backing vocalist for the rock band Uriah Heep and for his work with Ozzy Osbourne in the early 1980s.
