Rick has been in the music industry for 20 years more than George M but his passing is forgotten about by the next day by BBC ,yet GM still has the top headline all next day and 29 page obituary on BBC entertainment page. No justice. Don't worry Rick mate ,we,your loyal fans over many decades will always remember you . So pleased I actually met and shook hands with the great.man . Feel so sorry for his kids waking up on Christmas morning without their daddy. They're only8 the twins.

Very little press coverage considering the years of delivering good old rock and roll.
Rick was a major contributor to some of best driving music IMHO.

Rick was laid to rest at Woking crematorium on 19th January, the end of an era.
Wonder if the band will continue with their accoustic shows now, or call it a day and retire completely/ go solo.

He had filed for divorce after they fell out over his work. Surprised he left nothing to the twins though. Afetr his heart attack last year ne had posted on the band website that his main priority was to see his kds grow up
