Mick Ralphs, the guitarist, songwriter, and co-founder of the legendary ‘70s rock bands Bad Company and Mott The Hoople, has died, according to a note from his rep. No cause of death was announced, although he had been in poor health for several years; he was 81. After an inspired jam session and a mutual sharing of songs, Ralphs made the bold decision to leave Mott The Hoople and form a new band with Rodgers, and Bad Company was born. In a fitting tribute to the band’s enduring influence, Bad Company will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this year in 2025.
