Jimi Hendrix was a regular guy...

Forty years ago, one of the most admired of all rock guitarists died in London at the age of 27.

Since his death, Jimi Hendrix has become an icon of 1960s culture, both the music and the visual image known around the world.

Born in the US, Hendrix spent his final years mainly in London.

He died of an apparent overdose at what was then the Samarkand Hotel in Lansdowne Crescent, Notting Hill, on 18 September 1970. More....
