Legendary Drummer Dies In Car Crash
Seventies rock star Cozy Powell has been killed in a car crash.
It was believed the 50-year-old drummer died when his car smashed into crash
barriers on the M4, just outside Bristol.
The musician - whose real name was Colin - was a legend in rock circles and
a prolific drummer whose career read like a roll call of
many of the biggest rock bands of the era.
He had recently made a comeback with Peter Green, a founder member of
Fleetwood Mac.
Avon and Somerset police said a 50-year-old male motorist from Hungerford
died when his Saab 9000 crashed into a central
reservation on the M4 at 8.30pm on Sunday - but refused to confirm the
identity of the driver.
However, Peter Green's publicist, Roland Hymes, confirmed the drummer, from
the Berkshire town of Hungerford had been killed in
a car crash.
