Tribute To Former WHITE SPIRIT/TANK Drummer

UK's Hartlepool Mail reports that the partner of British drummer Graeme Crallan, who played on WHITE SPIRIT's 1980 debut LP and TANK's 1985 release "Honour And Blood", has paid tribute to the "regular guy" who tragically died after a fall.

Crallan, who formed rock band WHITE SPIRIT with Janick Gers of IRON MAIDEN fame, died after banging his head during a fit outside his London home, an inquest heard.

Graeme, affectionately nicknamed Crash by his friends, died on July 27 after the accident left him "brain stem dead," according to a pathologist.

Graeme's partner of 13 years, Mike Jackson, said: "Graeme was just a regular guy who loved music.

"Sadly, he had issues with alcohol but it only became a problem in the last year. He had tried to stop and was taking the drums up again when this happened."
