RoryStorm (died September 28, 1972), real name Alan Caldwell, was the leader of RoryStorm and the Hurricanes, a Liverpool band who were contemporaries of the Beatles in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
The Hurricanes were one of the most popular acts on the Liverpool club scene during that era, but failed as recording artists.
In 1972, Storm, along with his mother, died of poisoning by sleeping pills in a double suicide after the death of his father.
Storm, born Alan Caldwell, formed RoryStorm & the Hurricanes in Liverpool in 1957.
Yet this wasn't the end of RoryStorm & the Hurricanes, although their position on top of the Merseybeat hierarchy was rapidly sliding, not just in light of the Beatles' meteoric rise to international stardom, but also as numerous other Liverpool bands scaled the British and then American charts.
Storm's band was quite instable and went through numerous lineup shuffles in the post-Starr years.
