Odd fact: the drummer on Transformer is John Halsey, who later achieved lasting fame playing the part of Barry Wom, drummer in The Rutles, Eric Idle and Neil Innes's parody of The Beatles.

He's also the landlord of the Castle Inn in Cambridge, and an all-round good fellow.

That's odd, the image doesn't display in the post my browser.

Anyway yes, they both look nice lads.

Edit: It does now.

I guess he took a walk on the wild side...

as for heads of hair I did read I am sure somewhere (and no cannot even find anything to back it up) that marijuana helps in this area...

He's not.

Unfortunately, age is wearying and the years are condemning!

Darn it. Everyone is popping off.

One thing I notice about these ancient pop stars though, how come they all have such fantastic heads of hair at 70+?

Sad loss I saw him at Hammersmith Odeon in 1979 - awesome gig.

Actually, if you think about it, he was a shiit guitarist and couldn't sing, like H off Steps. Makes you think...
