Darryl Michael Roy Read (19 September 1951 – 23 June 2013) was a British singer, guitarist, drummer, actor, poet and writer. In the late 1960s, Read was a member of Crushed Butler, considered by some to be amongst the forerunners of proto punk and punk rock.[1][2] He collaborated with musicians such as Bill Legend, Mickey Finn and Ray Manzarek.
Read appeared as a child actor in a number of films, including, aged 13, in Daylight Robbery (1964), for which he won a silver medal for best actor at the Venice Film Festival.[3] He also appeared onstage in two rock-based plays and a number of television programmes.[4] He was a published author of poetry as well as a biographical novel.
Read was killed in a motorcycle incident in Thailand in 2013.
