Cozy Powell Fans Pushing For Home Town Honor

09/03/2014
. (Classic Rock) Cozy Powell fans have launched an online petition to have the iconic drummer's home town recognise his legacy with a plaque - and they've already received a favourable response from authorities.

Powell, real name Colin Flooks, died in a car crash in 1998, ending a career that included stints with Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Whitesnake, Jeff Beck, Gary Moore, Thin Lizzy and more.

His first band, The Corals, were a regular fixture at youth clubs in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Now supporters want town councillors to commemorate his achievements.

Campaign organiser Rossella Amadori says on the petition page: "Some rare artists are able to arouse real, intense emotions - Cozy Powell was one of those." More of the statement and additional details here.
