Timeline
Bill Legend (born William Arthur Fifield; 8 May 1944) is an English musician and former drummer for glam rock band T. Rex during their most successful period.
One of three children, Legend worked as a commercial artist after leaving school, while playing the drums in a variety of bands.
He was drumming under his real name for a group called "Legend", fronted by Mickey Jupp, when Marc Bolan, the man behind the new-found success of T. Rex, spotted him and asked producer Tony Visconti to approach him.
Legend agreed to join T. Rex, immediately buying a number of the band's albums from their days as Tyrannosaurus Rex to familiarise himself with Bolan's previous work.
At the time, T.Rex had enjoyed their first hit single with "Ride a White Swan".
Bolan and his percussionist Mickey Finn had already recruited a bassist in Steve Currie, but still needed a drummer to complete the rhythm section of their new electric line-up.
At Legend's first session he played drums on "Hot Love" and the B-side "Woodland Rock".
However T. Rex stayed as a three-piece band for a short period, forcing Finn to mime playing the drums on Top of the Pops when "Hot Love" was at No. 1.
Bolan suggested Legend's stage name, which was derived from the name of the band he had been playing in with Mickey Jupp.
Legend played drums for T. Rex on four albums: Electric Warrior, The Slider, Tanx and Zinc Alloy.
The band had four UK No. 1 singles and four UK No. 2 singles in a three-year period, after which it began to disintegrate as the hits dried up.
Legend reverted to session drumming afterwards.
Legend is the only surviving member of the classic 1970–1973 T. Rex line-up.
Bolan (in 1977) and Currie (in 1981) both died in car crashes, and Finn succumbed to illness in 2003.
Despite signing a petition against the 1997 formation of Mickey Finn's T-Rex, Legend was alleged to have his own tribute band called X-T. Rex, which in 2014 was expected to write an album of their own.
Legend, with Bolan, Currie, and Finn, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 as a member of T. Rex.
