OP Mr.Ilektrik Member M Joined: Dec 2006 A radio station somewhere in O...	Just found out this morning that Cedric Sharpley has died. I'm so sorry to hear of Cedric's passing. He was an awesome drummer. Thank you Cedric for being part of my Numanoid life & for giving Numan awesome rhythms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCCJb0oQOT0 Last edited by Mr.Ilektrik; 03/14/12 07:29 AM.

The Backstage one? Or another... But regardless, it's a great shame about Ced. He had a very distinctive drumming sound and style, which formed the backbone of Gary's early works.
