Supertramp Co-Founder And Singer Rick Davies Dead At 81

Rick Davies, co-founder and lead singer/songwriter of Supertramp, passed away last week after battling Multiple Myeloma for over 10 years, the band confirmed.

“The Supertramp Partnership is very sad to announce the death of the Supertramp founder, Rick Davies after a long illness,” a statement from the band reads. “Rick passed away at his home on Long Island on September 5th. We had the privilege of knowing him, and playing with him for over fifty years. We offer our sincere condolences to Sue Davies.”

Davies was the voice and pianist behind Supertramp’s most iconic songs, leaving an indelible mark on rock music history, says a tribute by Supertramp, adding, “His soulful vocals and unmistakable touch on the Wurlitzer became the heartbeat of the bands’ sound.”

“Beyond the stage, Rick was known for his warmth, resilience, and devotion to his wife Sue, with whom he shared over five decades. After facing serious health challenges, which kept him unable to continue touring as Supertramp, he enjoyed performing with his hometown buds as Ricky and the Rockets. Rick’s music and legacy continue to inspire many and bear testament to the fact that great songs never die; they live on,” the group shares.

Davies, who was born in 1944, fell in love with music after listening to Gene Krupa’s “Drummin’ Man” during his childhood, and jazz, blues and rock ‘n’ roll became his lifelong passion.

Davies wrote and sang hits such as “Goodbye Stranger” and “Bloody Well Right” and had a deeper and less-distinctive voice than his erstwhile partner, Roger Hodgson, who wrote and sang the band’s biggest hit, “The Logical Song.”

Bruce Springsteen To Release Expanded Edition Of ‘Nebraska’

Bruce Springsteen is set to release an expanded edition of Nebraska this fall, exploring the album with more context and depth than ever before, with a five-disc box set featuring many never-before-heard and previously-undiscovered recordings.

Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition is due to arrive on October 17 from Sony Music and include the E Street Band’s fabled “Electric Nebraska” sessions and solo outtakes from the era as well as a newly shot performance film of Nebraska in its entirety – and a 2025 remaster of the original album. Together, they represent a wholly unprecedented look into the sonic world of this improbable lo-fi masterpiece turned enduring Springsteen classic.

The Expanded Edition was previewed with a previously-unreleased version of “Born in the U.S.A” (which was originally written alongside Nebraska), featuring Springsteen backed by Max Weinberg and Garry Tallent in a trio rendition from late April 1982.

“We threw out the keyboards and played basically as a three-piece,” Springsteen reflected. “It was kinda like punk rockabilly. We were trying to bring ‘Nebraska’ into the electric world.”

In addition to “Electric Nebraska,” which features Tallent, Weinberg, Danny Federici, Roy Bittan and Stevie Van Zandt, the set’s collection of “Nebraska Outtakes” unearths Springsteen solo rarities including more songs from the original Nebraska home recordings (“Losin’ Kind,” “Child Bride,” “Downbound Train”) and tracks from a one-off 1982 solo studio session (“Gun In Every Home,” “On the Prowl”). Also included is a present-day performance film of the Nebraska album.

“I think in playing these songs again to be filmed, their weight impressed upon me,” said Springsteen. “I’ve written a lot of other narrative records, but there’s just something about that batch of songs on ‘Nebraska’ that holds some sort of magic.”

One week after the release of Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition, the feature film Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere will arrive in theaters from 20th Century Studios on October 24 and chronicles the making of Springsteen’s Nebraska.

Pre-order Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition in both 4-LP plus Blu-Ray and 4-CD plus Blu-Ray configurations here.
