Sad news. I used to love Edde and the Hot Rods when I was in my late teens. Do Anything You Want To Do is a classic pop song.

Just heard that Ginger Baker is now playing drums at that great gig in the sky....brilliant drummer, with a legendary streak of irascibility....one of my musical heroes. Never saw Cream, but went to Blind Faith's debut in Hyde Park and also saw him with Air force. RIP

Looked dead in 1969

Looked dead in 1969

Indeed he did....Had a longstanding heroin habit and only gave up fags a few years ago. No other drummer sounds or played like him....true legend

Baker was the best. Cream were highly original and creative. Only four albums but classics. Eric Clapton will be feeling alone today.
