Tara Browne was killed when driving at high speed in his Lotus Elan after it collided with a parked lorry in South Kensington, London. A close friend of The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, his death was immortalized in The Beatless song A Day In The Life after John Lennon read a report on the coroner's verdict into Browne's death.
