known as the bassist from the 1960s group Cream, has died. He was 71. A statement released by his family
on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014 said “the world of music will be a poorer place without him but he lives on
in his music and forever in our hearts." Cream, a blues-oriented power trio that also included
guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker, sold 35 million albums in just over two years and were
awarded the world’s first ever platinum disc for their album “Wheels of Fire.” Bruce wrote and sang most
of the songs, including "I Feel Free", "White Room," "Politician" and
”Sunshine Of Your Love."
