The Yardbirds’ star dies at age 79

Chris Dreja, the founding member of The Yardbirds, has passed away at 79. His death was confirmed by his sister-in-law and former bandmate Jimmy Page, who posted a tribute online.

Dreja had faced years of health problems, during which he was cared for by his wife, Kate. He was the only member to play on every one of the band’s releases.

The Yardbirds, which Dreja co-founded in 1963, were immensely influential despite not achieving massive commercial success. Their hits included “For Your Love” and “Heart Full of Soul.”

The band is also legendary for launching the careers of guitar icons Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. Dreja initially played rhythm guitar before switching to bass.
