Rick Davies, who was a founding member of the 70s rock band Supertramp, has died at age 81.
Following a battle with cancer, the singer-songwriter passed away in his Long Island home on Friday.
The sad news was announced in a statement from the band, which gave its condolences to Rick’s widow Sue.
Rick co-founded Supertramp in 1970 alongside fellow singer-songwriter Roger Hodgson.
They later enlisted Dougie Thomson, Bob Siebenberg, and John Helliwell, performing together from 1973 to 1983.
