Latest comment: 6 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

According to Billy Cox (Jimi Hendrix's bassist), Riki died recently, not sure how to add a death year without a birth year, maybe someone can do that?

Reply to Dan33185, it would seem as though he has passed away (15 or 16 January 2026?) which is very sad. Condolences to his family and friends. I just saw the Billy Cox post (17 January at 05:57) and it comes from Billy Cox. I first became alerted by the actions of this user, ~2026-32528-7
