From The Metro:
A founder member of the 1970s band ELO was killed instantly when a giant bale of hay rolled out of a field and crushed his van. Mike Edwards, 62, was driving beside a steeply sloping field when the 320kg (50st) bale careered down and burst through a hedge... Steve Walker, of Devon and Cornwall police, said: ‘This was a tragic accident. We have used photographs and YouTube footage to identify him but we now need help contacting his family for formal identification."

* No doubt the purists will argue that it only counts if a drummer dies in a bizarre gardening accident.

I couldn't find (Part 1) in your archive, but no doubt you were refering to the death of Jeff Porcaro from Toto
a drummer who did indeed die in a bizarre gardening accident in 1992
Great tag!
I assume there have been no real-life spontaneous drummer combustions to date - in the interim, I recommend Bruce Dickinson's TV documentary on the subject.
Do any drummers live beyond the age of 62?
PC, I couldn't find it either. Maybe somebody else beat me to it.
McH, not that I'm aware.
TFB, Charlie Watts managed.
Ah, Charlie Watts! ...One of the greatest rock-n-roll drummers ever!
No Organic Gardening Angel there to protect him then?
I think that purists would argue that if a drummer died in a bizarre gardening accident it would be 'a good start.' Remember - 'What do you call someone who hangs around with a bunch of musicians? A drummer.'
