GTR Co-founder and Session Bassist Phil Spalding Dies at 65

- Credits include Mick Jagger, Mike Oldfield, Elton John and others

Bassist Phil Spalding, who was a co-founding member of GTR and whose studio credits include everyone from Elton John to Right Said Fred, died Feb. 5 at age 65.

No cause was given, though Spalding had been living with hepatitis C.

The bassist co-founded GTR with Steve Howe and Steve Hackett in 1985 and made one album with the group. Hackett remembered his former bandmate as “a lovely guy and a great bass player.”

Guy Pratt, who toured with his fellow bassist when Spalding was playing with Mike Oldfield and Pratt was with Icehouse, called Spalding “a brilliant player and a wonderful, irrepressible character.”

Spalding’s studio credits include stints with Toyah Willcox, who called him “one of the greatest bass players and performers of all time,” and Right Said Fred, who were “extremely saddened” by the news.

The bassist also worked with Mick Jagger, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and the Who during its acoustic shows in 2020.

“Very sad, indeed, to hear of the passing of Phil Spalding,” Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey said in a statement. “… Our sincere condolences to his family at this very sad time.”

I'm devastated. They just announced that PAFA is closing their college (degree earning programs) after this academic year.

While they're continuing the museum, certificate programs, commitment to K-12 arts programs and continuing education classes —the college and graduate degrees are ending.

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is the first and oldest art school in the United States. And the college is closing.

So so many famous artists attended or taught at PAFA!! All kinds of them too! Thomas Eakins. Mary Cassatt!!!!! Mike Berenstain (son of Stan and Jan, who took on illustrating the Berenstain Bears!). Apparently David Lynch? Don Martin! Howard Pyle!! Barkley L. Hendricks! James Metcalf, Henry O. Tanner, William Rush, Sarah Peale, Anna Peale, Jessie Willcox Smith, Maxfield Parrish, Henrietta Myers Miller (known professionally as Peter Miller). Thomas Cole. Robert Henri. Cecelia Beaux.

(it is also the first and oldest museum in the US, which thankfully isn't also being closed).

I wish the US funded the arts better. The college deserves to be saved as an iconic and immensely influential american institution, similar to the Smithsonian network of museums — with government funding. Hell, congress people should be FIGHTING to bail out PAFA, sustain it and treat it as a PAFA-Smithsonian arts institute funded by the government. Or SOMETHING. :(

It's going to close after reaching 220 years.
