Not another rock musician from the 'golden age of rock' the 1960s & 1970s has departed?. What with Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown, Manny Charlton and Dan McCafferty both of Nazareth, Wilco Johnson of Dr. Feelgood and solo & Jeff Beck they're dropping like flies lately!!.

BTO NOT FRAGILE album I still occasionally listen to it 2 or 3 times a year.

RIP Robbie

BTO are one of my favourite Rock Bands of all time.
Every successful Rock Band has a very good Drummer.
Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, John Bonham, John 'Spud' Coghlan, Carmine Appice,

Ginger Baker, the two Drummers from The Glitter Band, the Drummer from The Knack made My Sharona a HIT......

Robbie Bachman was a great Drummer........

I read in a book about THIN LIZZY that 'Lizzy' opened for BTO on a US tour back in 1975 and that both Randy and Robbie (and maybe Turner?) were Quakers and that Randy use to lock Robbie in his dressing room every night so as not to be tempted by the rock n roll excesses that were going on around both bands on that tour which Philo and the other Lizzy guy's Downey, Gorham & Robertson thought was hilarious!!.
