I’m afraid it’s going to get more frequent as many who are still here are over 70 and some are approaching 80.

I heard last week he was in poor health. The drummer on the Muppet show was supposedly modeled after him. RIP.

RIP Ginger,

One of the best drummers in Rock...Cream, Blind Faith & many other limited time projects.

BBM was one of my all time favorite groups: Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker & Gary Moore. All now deceased.

This was my favorite song by them!

God Bless

To you Ginger, RIP.

At our house when I was 13 so 1979. He was the most crazy guy on the set.

Sir, You rocked!

I'd suggest Keith Moon instead. Here's what someone else has to say:
