Prolific drummer Clem Cattini has died at the age of 89.

Musician and songwriter Donovan posted: “Clem was the drummer on my ‘Hurdy Gurdy Man’, and played on so many hits. Love, respect and condolences to his family.”
Carl Palmer, a founding member of the supergroups Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Asia, posted: "Rest in peace Clem, you will always be remembered. The drummers all over the UK owe you a lot for opening the door for all of us."
