Rick Wakeman has recently revealed that he once contributed to a David Bowie track as a pianist. The Yes rocker made the revelation that he was, in fact, the pianist on the track “Oh! You Pretty Things,” which appeared on Bowie’s legendary album Hunky Dory. Speaking with the BBC he said: “That is me [playing]. David wanted it to be very simple but if I remember rightly he kept cocking up the little riff. He did a few bits of it and I did the rest. He did the beginning.” Wakeman and the rest of the band, including guitarist Steve Howe were also recently announced as inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: “What an honour this is for us and all involved with the history of this band,” said Howe. “We thank all the Yes fans who have been so passionate over the decades, and helped us to keep the flag flying. It is the fans who have constantly demanded our inclusion. They have been heard.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
