Musical icon who's performed with Elton John and David Bowie dies as tributes flood in
The death of legendary bassist Herbie Flowers has been confirmed by his family and friends as A-list stars paid tribute to the man who 'made the greats sound greater'
Starting in the swinging '60s, Isleworth-born Herbie embarked on a stellar career as a session musician collaborating with iconic producers like Shel Talmy, Mickie Most, and Tony Visconti. Another of Herbie's iconic basslines was featured on David Essex's 1973 glam single, Rock On, which used a double-tracked and slapback effect to create the song's polyrhythmic backbeat. Other records featuring Herbie include Bryan Ferry's The Bride Stripped Bare, Sir Paul McCartney's Give My Regards To Broad Street, and Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of War Of The Worlds.
