Vincent Rodney Cheesman was born in Reading, Berkshire, and graduated in 1964 from Trinity College of Music. After a short spell as a teacher, he became organist and pianist with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, and wrote "Fire", their number one hit of 1968. He went on to form Atomic Rooster, who had two big hits in 1971, "Tomorrow Night" and "The Devil's Answer". Atomic Rooster disbanded in 1984 and he joined Dexy's Midnight Runners the following year. Unfortunately, he suffered from manic depression and took his own life with an overdose of sleeping tablets.
His grave is located on the East side of the Central Avenue, about one-third of the way down and more or less opposite Melanie Appleby. (bio by: Iain MacFarlaine)
