Supertramp’s Rick Davies Dies: Fans Mourn a Musical Icon
Rick Davies, the co-founder and vocalist of Supertramp, has died at the age of 81, a decade after a cancer diagnosis. Davies was instrumental in writing many of the band’s hits, including “Goodbye Stranger” and “Bloody Well Right,” and his voice and keyboard playing were integral to Supertramp’s sound. He formed the band in 1969 and shared songwriting duties with Roger Hodgson, leading to chart success with albums like “Crime of the Century” and “Breakfast in America.” Davies continued to record and tour with Supertramp after Hodgson’s departure, leaving behind a significant legacy in rock music.
