Traffic drummer dies age 60

JIM CAPALDI, the drummer with 1960s psychedelic rock group Traffic, died yesterday, aged 60, a spokeswoman for his family said.

Capaldi, who formed Traffic with fellow Birmingham musician Steve Winwood, was suffering from stomach cancer.

The band, whose motto was “to sound like the same group but never to sound the same,” had top five hits with Paper Sun and Hole in My Shoe in 1967.
