Lung cancer claims guitarist Graham
December 25th, 2008
British guitarist Davey Graham, known for his efforts with musical greats Paul Simon and Jimmy Page, has died of lung cancer, his manager says.
Manager Mark Pavey said Tuesday Graham, who died in London this week at the age of 68, had only just learned about his cancer diagnosis, The Guardian reported.
“He was diagnosed with lung cancer only weeks ago and suffered a seizure at his home at around 3.30 p.m. yesterday,” Pavey said.
The Los Angeles Times said Graham had earned a reputation in the music industry for creating musical compositions that included Asian and Indian harmonies.
