”I was pretty whacked out, along with the other original Yardbirds, when we were demising in ’68. Jimmy was still pretty fresh, but for us it had become a nightmare. I was quite happy to be moving into my twin passions of photography and design, and not having to rely on a lot of quite crazy people in music,” Dreja said in 2008.

Dreja was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.

RIP Chris! Thank you for all your musical contributions over the years.
