Real life musicians* killed in bizarre gardening accidents (Part 2)

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.
