7. Don Powell - Slade
Drummer for glam rock band Slade, Don Powell is probably one of the luckier musicians on this list. He's also one who lost the most in his brush with death. In the summer of 1973, Powell was taking a drive with his fiancé, Angela. Some time later, he woke up in a hospital with a fractured skull, broken ankles and busted up ribs. His fiancé was dead. The accident resulted in severe memory loss, which is why the details of the accident are still very much up for debate. Powell isn't even sure if he was the one behind the wheel of the car when it veered off the road and smashed into a wall. One thing that is known is Powell's heart stopped beating twice that day and is forever indebted to the two off-duty nurses who came to his aid roadside and got his ticker restarted.
