The one time drummer with alternative rockers New Model Army, Robert Heaton, died last week, seemingly after an undiagnosed battle with pancreatic cancer. He had previously fought cancer in the late eighties when a brain tumour forced him to drop out of the band. Although the band's drummer, Heaton wrote several of New Model Army's best known songs, including 'Here Comes the War'.
