Jim Gordon, a drummer for Eric Clapton, the Beach Boys, George Harrison and others who was convicted of killing his mother, died this week at 77.
Gordon died of natural causes "after a long incarceration and lifelong battle with mental illness" at a Vacaville, California, medical center Monday, publicist Bob Merlis confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Gordon appeared on the Beach Boys’ "Pet Sounds" album, Carly’s Simon’s "You’re So Vain" and was credited with co-writing Derek & The Dominos’ song "Layla" with Eric Clapton.
Gordon was also a member of Clapton’s short-lived band Derek and the Dominos, Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, and the elite Wrecking Crew, which included a loose grouping of studio musicians who worked on recordings in the 1960s and ‘70s.
