It is with a very heavy heart I have to post that David Richards passed away this morning, as announced on facebook by his daughter Wendy. Those who knew him will know what a kind, gentle, giving, dedicated soul he was. He leaves an incredible legacy in music to the rest of us. Rest in peace Dave x |

Terrible, terrible news. It's hard enough to loose any family, especially to cancer. I'd say 18 or so of my family members were taken from this horrific disease. But to loose a member at this time of year only compounds this sadness. May the Richards family find peace & comfort in the coming New Year. |
Montreux 20.12.2013 14:56 |
Oh... dear Dave... rest in peace... |

Queen fans will forever be indebted to David for his signature work on so many tracks, particularly the final albums with Freddie, find peace at last my friend. |

Aaah shit. Sad news. I think he had some sort of oral cancer. Brilliant man. |

Thank you so much, David. Rest in Peace. |

He always came across as being a very sincere and caring man. Rest in peace. |

Sad news indeed. Loved what Brian wrote on his website. Brought a lump to my throat. |

I lost my father when I was 24 by cancer, and he had simmilar age to David Richards. This sad new fucked my day...Now I'm 30. Mack, Mike Moran, everyone I can talked, said very good words about him, and it's not usual in showbizz. I listen today The Miracle, Innuendo, Made in Heaven as a tribute. And not forgotten Outside with Bowie or Blah Blah Blah by Iggy. He was a master, and he will be alive in our memories. Sorry for being so extensive and extra emotive again...I have some alcohol in my body, and the connection with a familiar thing, do the rest. Thanks for all David, you did the world a better place. |

Wow, didn't realize Going For The One by Yes was on his list of credits, assistant engineer at the tender age of 21. My favourite Yes album. Gotta give it a spin now. |
cmsdrums 21.12.2013 15:23 |
How ironic - I see that Brian has linked directly to a YouTube interview with David Richards.........on David Fuller's channel. |

It is not brians first time to our friend mr fuller.... |

R.I.P David! Such a talented guy. Could have been very useful in the new queen album coming year, |
john bodega 22.12.2013 12:04 |
My impression before I knew he was ill was that he really did look like death warmed up in the Days of our Lives documentary; really sucks that he's passed on. Fucking cancer. |
Back2TheLight 23.12.2013 02:59 |
I originally read this post Friday morning, hoping that someone maybe had the wrong information. As the day wore on, I read that Jacky posted a statement/tribute on the OIQFC fb page, and then it was like 'oh fuck, that really happened.' Sad to see a talented individual such as David Richards passed on long before his time, much too young. RIP...now you have the chance to work again with Freddie in heaven! |
