I saw Bad Company at the LSU Assembly Center in 1979 and "BAD CO" was the first album I bought with my own money when I was in junior high school.

Mick Ralphs, a guitarist, singer, songwriter and founding member of the classic British rock bands Bad Company and Mott the Hoople, has died.
A statement posted to Bad Company’s official website Monday announced Ralphs’ death at age 81.
Ralphs had a stroke days after what would be his final performance with the band at London’s O2 Arena in 2016, and had been bedridden ever since, the statement said. No further details on the circumstances of his death were provided.

How terrible he'd been bedridden from a stroke for nine years.

Great guitarist. He was one of those guitarists that wasn't showy, but always had the perfect tone, and great hooks for each song.

No you didn’t. Mott the Hoople broke up in 74-75. You must mean Bad Company.

Maybe Ian Hunter solo?

Yep. My stroke only left me with partial paralysis on the left side and that sucks pretty bad. I can’t imagine being bedridden for nine months…

Maybe, not sure if he saw Hunter or Ralphs.
