Era un giorno di pioggia bestiale -5 aprile 1998- sull'autostrada
M4 vicino a Bristol.
Mentre guida la sua Saab 9000 Cozy Powell muore
a seguito di un violento urto contro uno spartitraffico.
Cozy Powell, nome d'arte di "Colin Flooks",
batterista inglese, soprannominato il martello, ha suonato con tantissimi
gruppi di primo piano: Whitesnakes, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Emerson Lake
& Powell, registrando un’infinità di album in veste di richiestissimo session
man.
Grande appassionato di motori e corse -è stato anche pilota
in formula 3- fu grande tifoso della Ferrari, tanto da scrivere all'interno del
suo album Tilt "Forza
Ferrari".
Un mito per molti batteristi.
Per non dimenticare..
