Graeme Crallan
1958 – July 27, 2008
Graeme Crallan was a British heavy metal drummer who first came to prominence during the New Wave of British Metal of the mid ’70s. In 1975, he and future Iron Maiden guitarist, Janick Gers formed White Spirit who released one Deep Purple influenced album in 1980. They parted ways about a year later. A few years later, Crallan joined another metal band, the more aggressive Tank who’s fate was not much different from that of White Spirit’s. Graeme Crallan died of head injuries he sustained when he collapsed and fell while walking along a London street. The cause of his collapse is unknown.
What You Should Own
Graeme. I guess you won’t need me when we’re 64. I miss him so much. rest in peace my best friend. I won’t “(don’t)stop believing (and I’ll) hold on to the feelings” for ever. Safe journey through the pearly gates and rock the silver linings of the clouds. love forever

I am totally shocked and deeply saddened. Graeme was a lovely chap who always looked on the bright side.
I lost touch after leaving white spirit in 1983 though I did see him briefly in London after I left the band.
It’s a loss to many people I am sure………R.I.P. Graeme
