Ginger Baker, one of the most innovative and influential drummers in rock music, has died at the age of 80.

A co-founder of Cream, he also played with Blind Faith, Hawkwind and Fela Kuti in a long and varied career.

His style combined the lyricism of jazz with the crude power of rock. One critic said watching him was like witnessing "a human combine harvester".

I knew he was gravely ill in hospital. Hope he's at peace now. Thanks for the music, Mr. Baker. R.I.P.

	Trust no one, and believe half of what you see, because nothing is as it appears, and nobody is who they seem to be.
