Obituary From Rolling Stone: Bob Mayo, who played guitar and keyboards with Peter Frampton over the span of twenty-five years, died of a heart attack in Basel, Switzerland, yesterday. Mayo was touring Europe with Frampton when he suffered a heart attack; he was fifty-two. "Bob was like a brother to me," Frampton said. "I have lost a close personal friend and a talented, professional and outstanding musician." The New York-born Mayo joined Frampton in the mid-Seventies and played with the guitar ace on his legendary 1976 album Frampton Comes Alive. Following 1979's Where I Should Be, Mayo took some time off from recording and touring with Frampton to do session work. He quickly fell in with Joe Walsh and Foreigner, playing on several of their mid-Eighties recordings, including 4 and Agent Provocateur, two of the latter's biggest hits. In 1992, Mayo rejoined Frampton for a tour that didn't really end. He appeared on Frampton Comes Alive 2 (1995) and Live in Detroit (1999) and also played on Frampton's 2003 studio album, Now. |
