This day in music history.

September 27, 1972, Rory Storm (aged 32) and his mother got drunk and then took an overdose of sleeping pills. They were found dead the next day. They did not leave a note, Rory's father had recently died. Rory was the leader of "Rory Storm and the Hurricanes", Ringo Starr had played drums with Storm before joining The Beatles. The Hurricanes were one of the most popular acts on the Liverpool club scene during the 60s. However their attempt at a recording career was not successful, Rory never had a hit song, he actually only recorded a handful of songs and they were all re-makes of old rock classics.
