Original Bad Company Bassist Dies
artist: bad company	date: 09/26/2006	category: general music news

Raymond "Boz" Burrell, the original bass player for Bad Company, has died at his home in Spain at the age of 60.

Prior to founding the all-star Bad Company with Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke of Free and Mick Ralphs of Mott The Hoople, Burrell was the frontman for prog-rock act King Crimson.

A statement released by Bad Company’s record label Swan Song reads, according to Sputnikmusic, “It is with deep regret and profound sorrow that we announce the death of our dear friend and colleague Raymond "Boz" Burrell, one of the original members and bass player in Bad Company. Boz died on September 21, 2006 at his residence in Spain. We express our gratitude to Boz for his important contribution to Swan Song and to the music of his generation. We extend our sincere condolences to his wife and family”.

Ultimate-guitar also expresses its condolences to Burrell's family and everyone affected.

RIP Boz...I saw Bad Co. former lead singer Brian Howe on July 4th, free show at the park down the road...he was on a live album called "what ya hear is what ya get" or something like that..he was ok, no Paul Rodgers tho. But anyway, RIP Boz, you will be missed,
