Regarded by some as the most musically talented member of The Clash, Nick ‘Topper’ Headon certainly made his mark with the band when he co-wrote and played drums, piano and bass guitar on one of the band’s most enduring hits: Rock The Casbah.
Having overcome the long-term struggle with heroin addiction which led to his expulsion from the band, Headon returned to his hometown of Dover, where he launched a Narcotics Anonymous group and worked with the homeless charity Porchlight. He was most recently spotted onstage with Ian Dury's old band, The Blockheads.
