Lee Kerslake will always be a legend. Always. Dead or Alive. He's a fantastic drummer and he deserves every credit. Best wishes to Lee and his health. We love you Mr. Kerslake.

Bob and Lee were utterly shafted over this Ozzy stuff.

Lee isn't after money All the man wants is credit and recognition for what he contributed to musical history . Let him have that

It's the future now and lee did get 7 platinum albums. 4 for one and 3 the other for the first 2 ozzy albums. All it took was him being on his death bed and saying pretty please. You know Sharon Arden really does have a heart of gold. She bought it with all the money she stole from lee. But I'm glad lee got what he wanted before he passed. I'm sure he was hanging on till he finally got his recognition. Rip lee.

Lee, if you’re reading this, you are truly one of the best drummers out there. Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman are among my top ten favorite albums of all time, and you are truly the best drummer Ozzy has ever had. Thank you for the amazing music, we’re all gonna miss you. Rock on🤘❤️

Lee, a record is a relic. Anyone with the money could buy one and hang it on their wall. It can be stolen, or destroyed. What you have is the respect of the fans and the fact that you've touched millions of people's lives. You can't hang that on the wall, but no one can take it from you, and it'll be there long after you're gone. That's yours forever. And regardless of how Sharon or Ozzy try to rewrite history, the fans know. Godspeed sir, and thanks.

Lee Kerslake Rules!!! He’ll live in the Rock N Roll Legends Forever!🥁

Bob Daisley, Randy Rhoads and Lee Kerslake were the historic iconic composers that set the direction for the 80's, 90's and 2000's rock groups. The truth is the influences of Rainbow, Ronnie James Dio, Richie Blackmore, Uriah Heep and the late 70's L.A. Club scene set the precedent for Blizzard of Oz and Diary of A Madman. Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake were the guiding lights for Randy Rhoads. It so embarrassing for Sharon Arden Osbourne and Ozzy for not fully paying Lee and Bob their royalties and songwriting credits. Dark shadows cannot hide the light of truth. The shadows of our dreams are the lights of our tomorrows. Thank you Bob, Randy and Lee! I love you guys!

Love that comment!...these 3 musicians are respected in the rock community doing work for the fans...changed music forever . Made there mark...Ozzy and booze stomped all over there experience with such ez ..

I just listened to a clip of Eddie Trunk saying that all Lee wants is certification platnium records of Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman to have on his wall before he passes away one day. That is not asking for much and he rightfully so deserves those platinum records because he played on both those albums and wrote music on some of Blizzard Of Ozz and alot on Diary Of A Madman. If Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne do not meet his request, they should be exposed to how evil they are and have been all these years. They have screwed Lee, Bob Daisley, Jake E Lee, Phil Sousan, and probably many others for far too long. Just because Ozzy feels that he got screwed while he was in Black Sabbath that gives him the right to screw others. I just don't think Ozzy will ever get criticized for what he has done because the majority of the music fans in this world love him way too much. I love the music on Blizzard Of Ozz all the way up to No More Tears alot, but as people I don't really care for Ozzy or Sharon Osbourne.

one of the best rock drummers of all time,thanks for all the great memories Lee

I met Lee Once. He was a Kind Man. Miss Ya !!!

lee you are an incredible man. I met you after Uriah heeps gig at cardies in dallas. this is the time after your stint with ozzy. I only listened to the two ozzy albums you were a member of. I am a Uriah heep fan. you were the heart beat for them also.i loved the way you auditioned ozzy, for he already knew you didn't need any audition. if any kerslake fans out there they need to listen to your play play with Uriah heep. never thought of ozzy as a great vocalist to me he is only affective to the style. you played drums behind way better voices, mainly david byrons. I am sixtyone years old now and been listening to your drums since 1972 and was hooked . u,h, second album Salisbury without you. two months later demons and wizard your first with them. that put deep purple as my second favorite band. lee til this day that remains. I could go on of how much I love you and all the band members you have play drums with including daisley. we all have to leave this world lee and with me until my dying day your drums will always be in my ears. you are going to a music heaven. if Byron, thain, bolder, wetton have made it give one of them big bear hugs for me. going to see Uriah heep 2019. lee don't give up. we need you. Gerald lee easton

Kerslake was a bloody madman. I say this wif luv. God bless a performer as integral as Ozzy himself.

Lee Kerslake provided Us Drummers the fuel. His contributions to music will never be erased. WE KNOW.

God bless you Lee.

God bless you, Lee. Thank you for all you've done for rock and roll. I was just a kid listening to Blizzard and Diary and you left a huge impression on me. Later on, my step dad turned me on to Uriah Heep and I got "Magician's Birthday" and "Demons and Wizards". You are a gem of a man. Thank you.

Listen to Lee with Uriah Heep for his best work.

It's so hard to click the like button...Come on people. This is a slice of metal history. Insight into one of the most significant figures in the genre in the 70's and 80's. RIP, Lee. Your contribution to the music I love is timeless and will always be remembered.

Sorry to hear the news. i apprieciate your music Lee, hang on there, all the best. Nick

What a magical two albums.

So true! The drumming on DOAM is stellar and perfect for the songs. The opening fill on 'Over the Mountain' is in the Hall of Fame of drum fills, no doubt. The older I get, the more I love and respect Lee's performance. I also love the drum sounds. They don't sound dated like so much of the 80's cheesy drum sounds- gated and reverby, etc. Its so cool to think DOAM and BOO was recorded on 24-tracks and analog gear.

The guy that created that wonderful intro to "Over the Mountain" and contributed to a batch of other great songs that Sharron took credit for.

Thank you to Mr Lee for your contribution to music, may your rhythms ride with you now and always. Happie

Coming here based on some info. I just learned about Mr. Kerslake... I had no idea what a powerhouse he is or was. God Bless!

Great, Great drummer. Always thought the drummer on Blizzard of Ozz was Tommy Aldridge (another awesome drummer).

RIP Lee. It's been 1 year today since we lost a music legend. If anyone hasn't listened to his solo album Eleventeen (released in 2021) then please do so. There are some fantastic songs on it. My favorites are Celia Sienna, Take Nothing For Granted, and Home Is Where The Heart Is

This was very VERY sad news to hear :'(

Keep yourself alive Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Lee Kerslake and i'll always do

This guy is a drum hero! It is really a shame that people in the music business can just rip other musicians off and make just one or two people in a band look good. The Ozzy camp is just one example of how they just hire people to play drums or bass or guitar, pay them very little, and just get rid of them if there are any problems or questions raised. The music business is just one of the worst cut throat businesses to get into.

Lee I hope you get whats comming to you. What rightfully yours. Me , and a whole lot of people with me, give you all the credits in the universe! You and Bob and Randy, made history, and the history needs to be told. Thats right. Thank you Lee for a great part of my life!

Sharon and Ozzy fucked him and Bob Daisley over big time. Give this man the respect and due he deserves for helping revive Ozzy's music career. I'm pretty sure Randy wouldn't be happy if he were still here about their buisiness practices, especially when they decided to re-record the bass and drum tracks on Blizzard and Diary with Trujillo and Borden respectively. At least they have deleted from those awful versions from circulation since. I mean shit, Bob wrote almost all of Ozzy's lyrics including his biggest songs. Very talented musicians.
