After doing the circuit in America for a number of years, it wasn’t until he came to London that Hendrix began to gain the recognition his music deserved. It was the ex-Animals bass player, Chas Chandler, who first brought Jimi Hendrix over to the United Kingdom. It was a move that would work out well, in the short term at least. Hendrix soon had a few hit records behind him. His band ‘the Experience’ consisted of two English musicians, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell . The trio toured and recorded extensively for the next couple of years, knocking out hit after hit, both singles and albums.
All the success ended in one foul-swoop on the 18th of September 1970. The evening before, Hendrix had been at a party, returning shortly after midnight to his then girlfriends flat. Her name was Monika Dannemann. It was very soon after arriving at the flat near Notting Hill, that Hendrix died. The official cause of death asphyxiation of his own vomit. The real question was how it had happened. Dannemann originally claimed that Hendrix had taken nine sleeping pills the evening before. It was actually mainly red-wine they had found, not in his stomach, but actually in his lungs. She claimed, in interviews, that Hendrix was still alive when they came to take him away in an ambulance. The ambulance report stated that not only was Hendrix alone when they came to take him away but he was not breathing.
