Jim Capaldi, the drummer with the 60s psychedelic rock group 'Traffic', died yesterday aged 60.

Capaldi, who formed Traffic with fellow Birmingham UK musician Steve Winwood, was suffering from stomach cancer. His biggest solo hit was 'Love Hurts', a version of the Roy Orbison song in 1975.

It would help enormously if he'd stop singing, or at least appearing in public.
