American musician (born 1942)
Gary Walker (born Gary Leeds; March 9, 1942) is an American retired musician, who was the drummer with both the Standells and the Walker Brothers. Gary is now the last surviving member of The Walker Brothers.
Born in Glendale, California to Jack and Violet Leeds, he attended Glendale High School. His first ambition was to be a pilot, eventually obtaining a pilots license. After a short time in The Standells, he formed the Walker Brothers with John and Scott Walker in 1964. They moved to the United Kingdom with P. J. Proby soon after and had two number ones there. All three members changed their surnames to "Walker". Walker put out four singles as a solo artist in 1966, two of which both peaked at no.26 in the UK. Following a UK and Japan tour in 1967 and 1968, the Walker Brothers disbanded, and Gary formed his own band, Gary Walker &amp; The Rain with Joey Molland, Charlie Crane, and John Lawson.
Gary joined the Walker brothers for another tenure from 1975–1978 and other brief reunions, and by the 1980s was living a private life, operating a small castle model business, and eventually creating models of the Titanic. Walker moved back to the United States at some point, but returned to England when his parents passed away as "there is no reason to go back there". He lives in England with his wife Barbara, who he married on 17 Novmeber 1979. Their son, Michael, was born on 17 December 1986. In 2009, Gary and John Walker wrote the book "The Walker Brothers: No Regrets—Our Story".
