Lee Kerslake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lee Kerslake (born April 16, 1947 in Bournemouth, Dorset, England) is the longtime drummer for rock group Uriah Heep. He joined them in November 1971, left the band in October 1979, and rejoined them in April 1982.
During his time out of Uriah Heep, he was hired by Ozzy Osbourne, with whom he recorded Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, and played with bass guitarist Bob Daisley, who later joined Uriah Heep. On the Diary of a Madman notes, Kerslake and Daisley weren't credited. The two musicians were fired in late 1981, just after the recording session, and replaced for the tour by Tommy Aldridge and Rudy Sarzo. Aldridge's and Sarzo's photos were put on the album and they were credited as studio musicians, but they didn't play on the album.
Kerslake and Daisley have taken legal action against Ozzy Osbourne, claiming unpaid royalties for their contributions. Since then Ozzy Osbourne has been a great influence in metal history.
