Supertramps sångare Rick Davies är död

Richard Davies (22 July 1944 – 6 September 2025) was an English musician, singer and songwriter best known as founder, vocalist and keyboardist of the rock band Supertramp. Davies was its only constant member, and composed some of the band's best-known songs, including "Rudy", "Bloody Well Right", "Crime of the Century", "Ain't Nobody But Me", "From Now On", "Gone Hollywood", "Goodbye Stranger", "Just Another Nervous Wreck", "My Kind of Lady", "Cannonball" and "I'm Beggin' You". He is generally noted for his rhythmic blues piano solos and jazz-tinged progressive rock compositions and cynical lyrics. Starting with the self-titled Supertramp in 1970, Davies shared lead vocals with Supertramp songwriting partner Roger Hodgson until the latter's departure in 1983, at which point he became the sole lead vocalist of the group. Davies's voice was deeper than Hodgson's, and he usually employed a raspy baritone which stood in stark contrast to his bandmate's tenor. However, he occasionally sang in a falsetto which superficially resembled Hodgson's vocals, such as on "Goodbye Stranger" and "My Kind of Lady".
