The Dave Clark Five lead singer Mike Smith died of pneumonia Thursday February 28, 2008, less than two weeks before the band was to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mike became 64.

Mike Smith died at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital north of London. He was admitted to the intensive care unit Wednesday morning with a chest infection, a complication from a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed below the ribcage with limited use of his upper body. He was injured when he fell from a fence at his home in Spain in September 2003.

Mike had been in the hospital since the accident, and was just released last December when he moved into a specially prepared home near the hospital with his wife Charlie.
