In 2015, Davies was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a serious form of cancer. The illness forced him to step back from touring, but it never extinguished his connection to music. Even during treatment, he found comfort and joy in playing and creating.
He spent more than five decades with his wife Sue, finding strength in family and a quieter life away from the spotlight. Music remained a source of peace, whether on major stages or in small, local settings.
Though gone, Rick Davies’ voice and spirit endure—woven permanently into the soundtrack of countless lives.
