On 23 June, it was announced that English guitarist Mick Ralphs, famous for his work with Mott The Hoople and Bad Company, had passed away at a care facility in Henley-On-Thames, aged 81. “We were quite outrageous in the Mott The Hoople days, but it was more like a punk band than a glam-rock band,” he told Guitarist in 2013. Mott The Hoople - All the Young Dudes (Audio) - YouTube Watch On“[Bowie] basically saved the band,” he once told Guitarist. “We didn’t really know him at all, and we were at a low ebb and felt that we weren’t getting anywhere. That same year, he left Mott The Hoople and formed Peter Grant-managed supergroup Bad Company with ex-members of Free and King Crimson.
