Obituaries: Klaatu Drummer-Songwriter Terry Draper, MuchMusic VJ Juliette Powell, Glam Rocker Andrew Matheson

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Toronto scene influencer Sandy Stagg, , Canadian country guitar ace Roy Penney and English keyboardist and producer Bob Andrews.

Terry (Edward) Draper, a Canadian drummer and singer-songwriter best known as a member of noted 1970s progressive rock band Klaatu, died on May 15, at the age of 73, of leukemia.

An official obituaryreports that "Born in Toronto, and raised in Weston, Ontario, Terry’s two passions growing up were hockey and music. But music scored the win when he turned down a chance to join an NHL team’s training camp as a goalie to play drums in a band. And did that ever turn out to be a wild ride."
