while playing an electric guitar. He had had several health problems throughout his life, including emphysema and asthma. He may have been taking the medications commonly used to treat those diseases at the time, and these may have contributed to his inability to survive the electric shock. At the time, it is said that Relf was in the process of putting back together the original progressive rock band Renaissance line-up, which would eventually be called Illusion. He was buried in Richmond Cemetery. Though most sources mistakenly list 14 May as Relf's date of death (the day that many newspapers ran the story); on the official death certificate, he was declared dead on 12 May at West Middlesex Hospital. Legacy Relf's posthumous 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction with the Yardbirds was represented by his widow April, and sons Danny and Jason ("Jay"). Solo singles discography Most of Relf's recordings were released under the name of the group he was in at the time. However, an early attempt was made to establish him as a solo musician, and two singles came out under his own name in 1966. "Mr. Zero" / "Knowing" – UK Columbia DB7920 / U.S. Epic 10044 (May 1966) A-side written by Bob Lind "Shapes in My Mind" / "Blue Sands" – UK Columbia DB8084 / US Epic 10110 (November 1966) B-side is an instrumental credited to Relf, but actually performed by the Outsiders (not to be confused with the US band, the Outsiders, who performed "Time Won't Let Me"). The US single featured the same version as the UK single; US promotional copies (on red vinyl) featured a complete re-edit of the song. A further single appeared in 1989: "Together Now" / "All The Fallen Angels" – MCCM 89 002 (1989) US release only. The A-side was originally recorded in 1968 by Together. The B-side was recorded on 2 May 1976, ten days before Relf's death.
