Obituaries: Tributes to Supertramp's Rick Davies, Blancmange's Stephen Luscombe

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Tom Shipley of '70s folk-rock duo Brewer and Shipley and controversial Pretty Things drummer Viv Prince.

Rick Davies, a founding member of and singer/keyboardist in popular progressive rock group Supertramp, died on Sept. 6, after a decade-long battle with multiple myeloma. He was 81.

His passing was confirmed by the group in a statement honouring his half century of service in the group.
