"Supertramp founder Rick Davies, who wrote and sang some of the rock band's hits, has died at the age of 81.
The English vocalist and keyboardist died on Saturday, a decade after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, the band said.
"As co-writer, along with partner Roger Hodgson, he was the voice and pianist behind Supertramp's most iconic songs, leaving an indelible mark on rock music history," a statement said. "His soulful vocals and unmistakable touch on the Wurlitzer became the heartbeat of the bands' sound."
Davies wrote songs including 1974's Bloody Well Right, their US chart breakthrough; and 1979's Goodbye Stranger."

Proper innovative music
Both Rick and Roger brilliant vocalists
I’ve spent the afternoon banging out Goodbye Stranger and Logical song but you need a Wurlitzer organ to do it justice
A sound of their own
God, weren’t we lucky
We had the sixties then seventies classics | |

Bought the live double album Paris as a teenager it is ingrained in my mind and hearing any song from it is a pleasure. Sad to hear of passing of gifted musicians give us such thought provoking songs and music. | | | |
