Now that is sad, I was aware he used to come back and visit family in Swindon at least once a year and the whole reason why I got the Breakfast in America LP was to see the Evening Advertiser on the back of it. Rick Davies was a true musical genius and people I spoke to always used to mention him coming from Swindon and how brilliant that was for us as a town to produce such an artist

That upsets me, Supertramp were/are a proper supergroup and Rick always loved his ties to Swindon. Apparently Rick was a very down to earth bloke too RIP.

Apparently according to Wiki, at one time he played in the same band as Gilbert O'Sullivan...never knew that...(obviously was aware of the Swindon/Gilbert O'Sullivan connection)
