There's living legends, and then there's Slade. One of the biggest bands of the '70s, they scored a run of hits to rival the greats, going on to influence everyone from Oasis to Kiss to Twisted Sister. It wasn't always a given however, particularly in the wake of the horrific car crash suffered by drummer Don Powell that almost ended the band; "we survived and moved on to make more records, and we carried on together until obviously, we had a massive comeback", he says almost unbelieving as we sit down for a chat. Telling us why he's continuing the band's legacy with a new tour, and forthcoming solo album, we caught up with the guitarist and singer.
