Was it the relentless beat of the drums, the driving force behind the thunderous riffs, that truly defined the sound of a generation? The recent passing of Colin Burgess, the original drummer for AC/DC, serves as a stark reminder of the unsung heroes who helped shape the landscape of rock and roll.
The music world is in mourning, as news of the death of Colin Burgess reverberates across the globe. Burgess, who passed away in 2023, was a key figure in the early days of AC/DC, a band that would go on to become a global phenomenon. He was more than just a drummer; he was a vital component of the raw energy that propelled the band's sound, laying the foundation for the iconic riffs and anthems that would define hard rock for decades to come.
