Subject: Badfinger drummer dies in his sleep.

The drummer of the first band to be signed to the Beatles' Apple record label has died.

Mike Gibbins, 56, of Welsh group Badfinger, died in his sleep at his Florida home on Tuesday according to his official website.

A message says: "To all of Mike's fans, it is with deepest regret to inform all that he passed away October 4, in his sleep by natural causes. He will be terribly missed by all.

A remembrance service will be held at the Baldwin Funeral Home in Florida.

The website is now appealing for fans to donate money to the "Michael Gibbins Family Trust" to pay for Gibbins' body to be flown back to Wales "as per his wishes.

Apart from their close connections with The Beatles, the Swansea group were perhaps most famous for writing 'Without You.'

This was to become a number one hit for Harry Nilsson in 1972 and Mariah Carey in 1990.

The band have had a tragic history with both main songwriters, Pete Ham and Tom Evans, hanging themselves amid turmoil in the group's finances.
