Me neither, but he was there around their greatest albums. He was collaborating with one of Low's guys on upcoming album, wonder if it was completed by the time he died.

ObakeFilter 893 Posted September 19, 2020 There are some unofficial reports on Facebook suggesting that Lee Kerslake has passed away today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,923 Posted September 19, 2020 Kerslake's wife has asked Hensley to take down the post, which he did. Anyway I think they are only working on an official announcement, it is definitely too likely to be another false report. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So either dead or close to death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,028 Posted September 19, 2020 Just as Uriah Heep's drummer he should get coverage, but the link with Ozzy nails it. If true, sad news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,577 Posted September 19, 2020 Filmed interview with Lee from April. Looked awful then, and mentioned to the interviewer that he was dying. Also says that Ozzy Osbourne is very ill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted September 19, 2020 I think Lee Kerslake might not get a QO today considering that another death is massively overshadowing Kerslake’s. Though I’d be stunned if he doesn’t get a write up at all in the next few months or so (especially since Banali is less famous/influential than Kerslake). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
