CARMINE APPICE: Ginger and I became friends in 1967 when did tours together with Cream and Vanilla Fudge. When I got my double bass drums I looked what Ginger did to get some ideas of what was possible. We did many gigs and drum clinics together. He was always the wildest guy on the tour and we had some mighty good times. Even though he was not out there playing as of late. His influence is everywhere God Bless him. RIP old friend
Ginger Baker (Official): We are very sad to say that Ginger has passed away peacefully in hospital this morning. Thank you to everyone for your kind words over the past weeks.
