Former Uriah Heep keyboardist Ken Hensley confirmed Kerslake’s death on hisfan page, writing: “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 03:30 this morning. He died peacefully, praise The Lord, but he will be terribly missed.”
Kerslake was born on April 16, 1947 in Dorset, England and began playing drums at the age of 11. After playing with bands such as The Gods, Toe Fat and National Head Band in the late ’60s, he joined Uriah Heep and first appeared on their 1972 album “Demons and Wizards.” Kerslake departed Uriah Heep in 1978 and formed the band Blizzard of Ozz with Osbourne, bassist Bob Daisley and guitarist Randy Rhoads, although management soon rebranded the band as Osbourne’s solo project.
