(Photo by John Phillips/Getty Images)(CNN) - Ginger Baker, notorious hellraiser and celebrated drummer in the supergroup Cream, has died at the age of 80 at a hospital in the United Kingdom. In 1962, Baker replaced Charlie Watts as drummer in the blues band Alexis Corner's Blues Incorporated when the latter left to join the Rolling Stones. Baker then joined the Graham Bond Organization, a blues band that quickly became popular in the UK with Bond and bassist Jack Bruce with whom Baker had a legendary tumultuous relationship. Cream first reunited in 1993 at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

Ginger Baker, the volatile and propulsive drummer for Cream and other bands who wielded blues power and jazz finesse and helped shatter boundaries of time, tempo and style in popular music, died Sunday at age 80, his family said. Musician Ginger Baker of Cream performs at the Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp at AMP Rehearsal Studios on November 6, 2015 in North Hollywood, California. The Bruce family would like to extend their sincere condolences to Ginger Bakers family, friends and fans. Sad news hearing that Ginger Baker has died, I remember playing with him very early on in Alexis Korners Blues Incorporated. His father left behind a letter that Ginger Baker would quote from: "Use your fists; they're your best pals so often."
