Let's not forget that Keith Relf (along with sister Jane and
former-Yardbird Jim McCarty) formed the group Renaissance.

They recorded a couple albums and split (in favor of the Renaissance
with Jon Camp and Annie Haslam).  The tried reforming sometime in the
70s under the name Illusion (Renaissance version 2 was still around).
Keith Relf was found electrocuted at the time they were recording the
first Illusion album (Keith was not on this album or the next).
