I thought Mic Shrimpton died in a bizarre gardening accident.

No! Mick Shrimpton exploded on stage!
It was John "Stumpy" Pepys who died in a bizarre gardening accident (that authorities said "was best left unsolved")
Later on, his brother Richard "Ric" Shrimpton allegedly sold his dialysis machine for drugs; presumed dead.
Anybody have a copy of the early album "Shark Sandwich"?
