Keith Relf (born March 22, 1943, Richmond upon Thames, Surrey; died May 14, 1976, London) is best known as the lead singer of the Yardbirds. After the Yardbirds broke up Relf was involved in the groups Renaissance and Armageddon. Relf died in a freak accident, allegedly electrocuting himself while playing his electric guitar. The tale that he died while playing said instrument in the bathtub is apparently an urban legend.
