Drummer Ian Wallace dies aged 60

Drummer Ian Wallace, a former member of King Crimson who played with Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Roy Orbison, has died aged 60 in Los Angeles from oesophageal cancer.

And another Brit born rocker who sadly died this week, also aged 60, was drummer Ian Wallace, member of early seventies progressive rock group King Crimson but probably more noted for his extensive drumming career appearing on recordings and/or stage shows from the likes of Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Stevie Nicks, Roy Orbison, Traveling Wilburys, Brian Eno and Jackson Browne. He also participated in a number of jazz projects, and founded the Crimson Jazz Trio. Wallace died last Thursday at an LA hospital following complications from esophageal cancer.
