They are dropping like flies at the moment

Bassist Herbie Flowers has passed aged 86.

With too many credits to list without being tldr, in 1972, he played on Lou Reed’s pioneering Transformer album, giving the single Walk On The Wild Side its recognisable twinned bassline twang.

I bought Transformer on vinyl back then and on CD since. Have it on my Spotify now too. Fair to say it's a favourite of mine.

RIP Herbie
