Continuing the run of English rock musicians renowned for the drug-fuelled hedonism and unrestrained wild side and we come to one of the greatest drummers who ever lived - Keith Moon, drummer for the Who, was voted the second-greatest drummer of all time by readers of Rolling Stone magazine. Moon was a bigger fan of alcohol over other illegal substances, which probably goes some way to explaining his anarchic and self-destructive drive in which he would often blow up toilets with cherry bombs or dynamite - never let it be said that addiction to brandy and champagne won't do strange things to a person' behaviour. Keith Moon was just 32 when he died in 1978, and perhaps what was most ironic about his death is that it was caused not by alcohol but by Heminevrin, a drug designed to help treat someone undergoing alcohol withdrawal.
