We don't have a birth time for Peter Ham, the lead force of Badfinger. He was born April 27, 1947, in Swansea, Wales and hanged himself in Weybridge, England on April 24, 1975, perhaps around 4:00 AM in the same 24 hours that he learned that he had lost everything he'd ever worked for and was destitute, without a pursuable career, after having written number 1 and other Top 10 songs. One version of the story is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Ham
I want to put on record that I think he was born almost exactly at 2 PM (which was British Double Summer Time). Look at his secondary progressions for his death to see why I think this. Then run his remarkable SSR almost an entire year before he died, then top it with the SLER five days earlier. His quotidians also suggest that, on fine tuning, it wasn't much off the exact hour.
The final SLR for this time had transiting Saturn 1° above Ascendant partile square natal Mars. The final solar had natal Saturn 1° from Ascendant as well, clustered near angles with natal Moon, Pluto, and Neptune, among other features.
If he'd lived a few more days, it wouldn't have gotten better. His next SSR, less than a week away, was at least equally tragic and more despairing - if he was, in fact, born about 2 PM.
