The scottish Janis Joplin and her band stone the crows
Maggie Bell's vocals were described as being similar to Janis Joplin's.
Guitarist and co-founder Les Harvey, was electrocuted onstage in front of a live audience, at Swansea's Top Rank Suite in May 1972.
Wires to the group's equipment were reportedly damaged by the audience and although the road crew attempted to repair the damage, they overlooked a loose ground wire.
Harvey received a jolt of electricity as he reached for a microphone while his fingers touched the metal strings on his guitar. His body reportedly flew into the air, and came to rest with his guitar in contact with the microphone stand.
Bandmates who tried to rescue him reportedly got shocked themselves, and it wasn't until someone kicked his guitar away, that medical personnel were able to render aid. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital he was only 27.
The new guitarist Jimmy McCulloch, joined wings from 1974 to 1977. He was found dead in his London home in 1979, aged 26.
An autopsy revealed that he had alcohol, morphine and cannabis in his body; the coroner stated he died of morphine poisoning.
