Rocker Terry Reid, who turned down Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, dead at 75
English rock star Terry Reid, who once turned down offers to front Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, has passed away. He was 75. Reid's UK rep confirmed the shocking news in a statement to the Guardian on Tuesday, August 5. Although his cause of death has not been revealed, the beloved musician's passing follows a fight with cancer. 8 Terry Reid during a concert on June 24, 1973.

Getty Images The 'Seed of Memory' singer had been forced to postpone an upcoming tour due to his worsening health battle, according to his official Instagram page. 'Due to medical issues arising from recent treatment for cancer, Terry has had to postpone his autumn 2025 UK, Irish and Norway,' the announcement posted on July 2 began. 'Terry is especially upset about this as his 2024 tour was so successful and he had been looking forward to playing some new towns and venues, plus old faves, as well as his first-ever dates in Norway.' 'We wish Terry a speedy recovery back to good health and will provide details about rescheduled dates for 2026 in due course,' it added. 8 Terry Reid in 1960. Alan Messer / Shutterstock A GoFundMe page set up on the rock star's behalf last month detailed Reid's cancer fight. 'Over the past several months, Terry has been courageously battling cancer as well as numerous other serious health issues,' it said. 'His fight has been quiet and brave, but it has also come at a great personal cost.' 'He's been in and out of the hospital, enduring rounds of treatment and uncertainty — and, most recently, was forced to cancel his long-anticipated six-week tour,' it continued. 'The financial strain has become overwhelming, and the medical bills are mounting by the day.' 8 The English rock singer and guitarist relaxing between shows on June 6, 1973. Getty Images 'Terry would never ask for this himself — which is why we're asking for him,' the message added. Born and raised in Cambridgeshire, England, Reid first came to prominence as a teen when he joined Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers as the band's frontman. Reid's reputation was further cemented in the mid-1960s when he supported the Rolling Stones during their tour at age 16. 8 Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin on June 20, 1969. Getty Images It was then that he was approached by Jimmy Page, who was still with the Yardbirds at the time, and asked to join the group that would ultimately become Led Zeppelin. 'I was very friendly with Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones,' Reid recalled during a 2024 interview with Classic Rock. 'Keith asked me to support the Stones in the States, but then shortly afterwards, Jimmy wanted me to join his new band. I was torn. 'In the end, I put the ball in Jimmy's court,' he continued. 'I said: 'You'd better speak to Keith and tell him I'm not going.' But Jimmy bottled it. He said: 'I'm not having him shoot me in the f–king leg.' Even then, Keith had a reputation.' 8 Terry Reid performs as part of Wesley Stace's Cabinet of Wonders variety show at the City Winery on June 22, 2018, in New York City. Getty Images 'So I ended up going to America with the Stones,' Reid added. 'I even played with them at Altamont.' After turning Page down on the offer to join Led Zeppelin, Reid recommended singer Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham instead. Both musicians ultimately joined, and Led Zeppelin was established in 1968. 'I was intent on doing my own thing,' Reid told the Guardian last year. 'I contributed half the band – that's enough on my part!' 8 Terry Reid poses for a portrait in 1968. Getty Images He also turned down an offer from Ritchie Blackmore to join Deep Purple after the band's original lead singer, Rod Evans, departed the group in 1969. 'It was very flattering,' Reid told the Guardian. 'Ritchie was one hell of a guitar player.' Touching tributes for the revered singer-songwriter, who was nicknamed 'Superlungs' due to his powerful and unique voice, have poured in following the news of his passing. 8 Terry Reid at the Joint in Los Angeles, California, on January 10, 2015. Getty Images 'Goodbye my friend,' Joe Bonamassa wrote on Instagram Tuesday morning. 'It was an honor to get to know you as a friend and a musical mentor.' 'I will miss our hangs and stories in Palm Springs,' he continued. 'One of the greatest to ever do it, and a beautiful person and soul.' 'Rest in peace Terry Reid,' Bonamassa concluded. 'My deepest condolences to his family on this terrible day.'

Jared Allen reacts to wardrobe malfunction during Hall of Fame celebration: 'Should've listened to my wife'
Newly-minted Pro Football Hall of Famer Jared Allen tried to do his sack dance one last time on Friday night during the gold jacket dinner, but his pants didn't cooperate. Allen, 43, was on stage with his family when he did his sack celebration: going down to a knee and then gesturing out with his hands. The Minnesota Vikings great stood up, grabbed the back of his leg and realized he had ripped his pants. Days later, Allen reacted to the incident, explaining that he simply got "caught up in the moment." "I got caught up in the moment on Friday night during the gold jacket dinner and was coming off the stage and decided to do my sack celebration one last time, and I should've listened to my wife," Allen said during a Tuesday appearance on "Fox & Friends." "I came off the stage, and she's like, 'What are you thinking? Those are fitted pants, you know that's not going to work for you.'" The rip in Allen's pants stretched from his rear to near the back of his kneecap. Allen was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame alongside Sterling Sharpe, Eric Allen and Antonio Gates. In his 12-year career, Allen played for four teams. He spent six seasons with the Vikings, four with the Kansas City Chiefs, parts of two seasons with the Chicago Bears, and part of a season with the Carolina Panthers. The Chiefs selected Allen in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft out of Idaho State. In 187 career games, the five-time Pro Bowler had 648 combined tackles with 136 sacks, six interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 32 forced fumbles and 19 fumbles recovered, and he holds the NFL's all-time record with four safeties. Allen led the NFL in sacks twice, with 15.5 in 2007 and 22 in 2011.
