Former Uriah Heep and Ozzy Osbourne drummer Lee Kerslake has died at the age of 77 following a long-running battle with cancer. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014 and the disease spread through his body. Five years later doctors advised him to arrange his affairs over the following eight months. Lee never gave up the fight, recording a final album, Eleventeen to be released posthumously and setting up the ongoing filming of an autobiographical documentary, Not On The Heep, that examines the unique bonds of friendship between musicians. Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Ian Paice of Deep Purple and Kiss’s Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are among those to appear in his film.
