ELO cellist killed by hay bale

Tragic that he seems to have nobody they can approach to formally identify the corpse, and had to rely on youtube and google images.

Is it bad that I thought "Oh no, not Violinski!" then "Oh, OK, not Violinski..."?

Dropping like flies, aren't they? The great ELO reunion looks more and more remote all the time.

It's a horribly banale way to die, in the pantheon of rock 'n' roll.

I remember Ronnie James Dio having a bizarre gardening accent -- didn't he cut off his toe with a lawnmower? Or was that Charlie George?

In other gardening and agriculture-related rock 'n' roll deaths, Jeff Porcaro, drummer with Toto, died following an allergic reaction putting down weedkiller in his garden. And ABBA's drummer, Ole Brunkert, died falling onto his greenhouse.

Was it true that Roy Harper nearly died from an infection he contracted by giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a sheep?

Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation? That's an "I was vacuuming in the nude when..." line if ever I heard one.

I have checked reliable sources and Dio's gardening accident was not, in fact, lawnmower related.

Bizarrely, his thumb was severed by a falling garden gnome.

I think that's what Jeff's record company wanted people to believe. It came out during the inquest that he'd died of the altogether more believable cocaine induced heart attack.

Formerly of this parish TV's Mr Personality wrote a fine book on this very subject (rock star deaths) called Number One Song In Heaven.

Going only slightly off-topic, I watched Spinal Tap at the 2009 Glastonbury festival the other day and was quite delighted to hear their drummer, Greg Bissonette, named as "Skippy Scuffleton".
