Very sad. I hadn't heard his name in a very long time. The only thing I can find out about his death is a mention of it on his Wikipedia page.

RIP Rick (10 June 1944 - death 17 May 2022) May Rick Price rest in peace. Richard Price (born 10 June 1944 - 17 May 2022) was an English bassist who played with various Birmingham-based rock bands, most notably Sight and Sound, the Move (1969–1971), and Wizzard (1972–1975). Career Price was born in Birmingham. His first band were the Cimarrons, who were inspired by the Shadows. He then moved on to the Sombreros, who later changed their name to Sight & Sound and moved in a more psychedelic direction. He began collaborating with Mike Sheridan as a songwriting partnership. Price joined the Move in 1969, staying with the group for two years, including an unsuccessful tour of the United States. He also contributed bass tracks to the early sessions for the debut album of ELO, but for reasons that are unclear, none of his bass parts ended up in the final mix of the album when it was released in 1971.
After leaving the Move he signed a contract with Gemini Records; he then recorded (with Sheridan) the album This Is To Certify That, released in 1970, and a solo album, Talking To The Flowers, in 1971. He then joined former Move colleague Carl Wayne in Light Fantastic, before forming Mongrel with future Wizzard drummers Charlie Grima and Keith Smart. He joined up again with Wood in the latter's new band, Wizzard, with whom he had two British #1 hit singles, "See My Baby Jive" and "Angel Fingers", as well as the #4 Christmas classic "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" (all 1973).After Wizzard split up, he joined the Wizzo Band on pedal steel guitar in 1975, but they broke up in 1978. Price was also a member of The Rockin' Berries from 1990 until his death. Price was married to Dianne Lee of the 1970s duo Peters and Lee. The couple toured as a duo, performing hits and new songs. Rick died unexpectedly on 17th May 2022.

Brit rockers wore some funky shoes back in the day, but with all that hair - I wonder if anyone noticed what was on their feet?

Very sad indeed to hear this, thanks to fluffy and trekkielo for the news and info. My abiding memory of Rick is when he donned the legendary Angel on Roller Skates outfit for See My Baby Jive on TOTP, what a legend. Not many people could play bass whilst mastering skates on a crowded stage. I think I'm right in saying he also wrote Lightning Never Strikes Twice for The Move, always a big favourite here in Musette Towers. RIP Rick, you always looked as if you were thoroughly enjoying yourself and because of that, so did we.
