Neil Young bassist Rosas dead at 65

Rick Rosas, bassist with Neil Young since the 1980s, has died at the age of 65, it’s been confirmed.

No cause of death has been reported for the musician, who also worked with Ron Wood, Jerry Lee Lewis and Joe Walsh.

But he’s best known for joining Young’s band in 1988 and also appearing as part of Crosby, Still, Nash and Young, Crazy Horse and Buffalo Springfield.

Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina confirmed the passing of his colleague.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
