Keith Relf

Keith Relf
Keith Relf was lead singer for the Yardbirds during the mid sixties. The most curious oddity about him was he only had one lung. After the Yardbirds broke-up in 1967 he founded two more bands , “Illusion” and then “Renaissance”. On May 14th of 1976, he decided to play the electric guitar thru a 220 watt Marshall amp while taking a bubble bath and was promptly electrocuted and burnt to a crisp. He was 33 years old. DEATHROCK UPDATE : Relatives claim he was actually shocked in a basement converted to a studio by an “unearthed” (unground) amp and his general state of poor health caused it to be fatal.
