Steve Negus

Stephen William Negus (born February 19, 1952) is a Canadian drummer, songwriter, who was a member of the progressive rock band Saga for twenty-six years.

While playing at Larry's Hideaway, a club in Toronto, Steve Negus' drumming came to the attention of the Canadian rock band, Fludd.

While in Fludd, Steve Negus met bassist Jim Crichton and keyboardist Peter Rochon, who would later join him as founding members of Pockets, the original working name of Saga.

“Don't Pay the Ferryman” was the single from that album, which went to #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States[1] and #32 in Canada.

Before a follow-up CD could be written and recorded, Negus and Gilmour reunited with Saga which ended GNP.
