Binks appeared on a pair of studio albums – 1978’s “Stained Class” and “Killing Machine” (released in the US as “Hell Bent for Leather”) – and the legendary live release, 1979’s “Unleashed in the East.”
Although Binks reportedly passed away a month ago, Judas Priest confirmed the news on April 15, saying “We are deeply saddened about the passing of Les and send our love to his family, friends and fans. The acclaimed drumming he provided was first class - demonstrating his unique techniques, flair, style and precision - Thank you Les - your acclaim will live on.....”
Binks was among the members of Judas Priest to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
