Sadly Lee Kerslake has passed away. His two albums with Ozzy are classics. Great drummer.
Shamefully not credited on Diary of a Madman.
Not to forget his long standing work with Uriah Heap.

Uriah Heep drummer Lee Kerslake has died at 73 after a battle with prostate cancer. His fellow Uriah Heep member Ken Hensley confirmed Kerslake's death yesterday.
"It's with the heaviest of hearts that I share with you that Lee Kerslake, my friend of 55 years and the best drummer I ever played with, lost his battle with cancer at 3.30 this morning," Hensley wrote in a statement to Louder.
"He died peacefully, praise the Lord, but he will be terribly missed.
"I know many of you were praying for him not to suffer and I thank you for that and, now that Lee is at peace, our thoughts and prayers should turn to his wife Sue who will need all the support she can get at this time."
Ozzy Osbourne shared a tribute to Kerslake on Facebook.
The rock legend wrote: "It’s been 39 years since I’ve seen Lee but he lives forever on the records he played on for me, Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. Lee Kerslake RIP."

Rather hypocritical of Ozzy considering how abominably he and especially Sharon treated Lee and Bob Daisley. Sad news but at least his suffering is over.

Par for the course for Sharon. A most unpleasant specimen. |

He played the drums on Easy Livin' that makes him a legendary figure.

I rather like Uriah Heep, so yes it's a sad day.

The final time Lee played with Heep. What a great way to bow out.
