More Details Emerge In Death Of Former WHITE SPIRIT/TANK Drummer

October 10, 2008

Islington Tribune reports that British drummer Graeme Crallan, who played on WHITE SPIRIT's 1980 debut LP and TANK's 1985 release "Honour And Blood", died after hitting his head on a pavement while having a fit, an inquest heard this week.

Crallan — known in the rock fraternity by the affectionate nickname "Crash" — was standing outside his home at the corner of York Way and Wharfdale Road in King's Cross when a sudden fit took hold of his body.

The tragic episode in July left him "brain stem dead," according to pathologist Dr. Freddie Patel. He was taken to Whittington Hospital in Archway and then transferred to the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, where he died on July 27.
