loading...

The metal word lost an important contributor on Jan. 14 with the death of Robbie France, who drummed in the bands Diamond Head, UFO and Wishbone Ash. France only spent a short time in Diamond Head, but the the UK metal band proved influential; Metallica would go on to cover several of their songs. His time in UFO and Wishbone Ash was also short lived, but he remained a highly respected drummer and later in life spent time teaching music and hosting a radio show.
