Rick really represents the band – he IS Kasabian. He has been with them since the beginning. He’s a total character, basically, one of the family. © Aitor Throup
He’s an old, cantankerous man – but also the most beautiful man you’ll ever meet. He’s got stories from back in the day. He’s seen it all and been round the world more times than anyone. I really wanted to immortalise him. I was watching this Francis Bacon interview and he said he only drew people that he knew because he knew their faces. This is our way of letting people into our world. I love the idea that there’s this 70-year old man on our record, there’s something beautiful about it. © Sergio Pizzorno
We laughed, cried, saw the world together and enjoyed unbelievable times performing and creating music. He is irreplaceable and will be missed forever. You gave your life to rock and roll and you will never be forgotten. © Kasabian
