Best known for his work in Ten Years After, Alvin Lee died due to complications during surgery.  After he left the band, Alvin took his solo career in many directions, getting folks like George Harrison, Steve Winwood, Ronnie Wood, to play with him.  He was a mix of great blues and rock and roll.

He even made an album in 2004 called 'In Tennessee' with Elvis band alums Scotty Moore and drummer D.J. Fontana.  It had the bite of a Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry sound.

Alvin Lee was 68.
