Bill Legend

Bill Legend (born William Arthur Fifield; 8 May 1944) is an English musician and former drummer for glam rock band T. Rex during their most successful period. His life and career have been discussed in multiple published books and other works about the band.

Legend agreed to join T. Rex, immediately buying a number of the band's albums from their days as Tyrannosaurus Rex to familiarise himself with Bolan's previous work. Legend had his own tribute band called X-T. Rex. He recruited lead vocalist Danny McCoy, lead guitarist Ross McEwen, keyboardist Lee Swindon and bassist Stuart McArthur to complete the lineup. They completed a tour of Europe and were expected to release an album titled Mover and the Groover despite T. Rex fans, including David Bowie being unhappy about a new album under a slightly different name to the original band.

Legend is the only surviving member of any T. Rex or Tyrannosaurus Rex line-up from August 1967 to June 1973. Bolan (in 1977) and Currie (in 1981) both died in car crashes, and Finn succumbed to illness in 2003. Finn's predecessor Steve Peregrin Took choked to death in 1980.
