Mick Ralphs, founding member of Mott the Hoople and Bad Company passes
I have always loved the guitar sound of Ralphs in Bad Company. Plus he wrote some of their best songs, including Can't Get Enough and Movin On. A quiet, underrated guitarist.

Bummer, sorry to hear this. He was great with Bad Company. First saw them in 1975 and had a lot of their albums. It's sad when the old rockers and movie stars I have followed for decades are passing away.
