Sad news. One of the all time great sidemen who played on tons of well-known songs.

Facebook post from a local bass player:

"A big Texas sax player asked me if he could sit in with The Bottle Devils at the Matador. We play Brown Sugar and he launches into the sax solo. After he nails it I said to him "you're Bobby Keys" and he said "I know, don't tell anyone". RIP Bobby." - Alec Fraser

An honorary Stone, to be sure--more than 40 years in the fold. He also played with countless other rock acts (that's him on "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night").

This is sad news. Last weekend I was listening to him cut loose on one of the just-released Stones live discs. He was such a pleasure to hear!

He really was one of the greats at what he did.
Rest In Peace

Yes, one of the best sidemen of all-time. I must of about 100 albums/cd's with him in it. RIP unless you want to jam with Brian Jones and Ian Stuart.

The Rolling Stones pay tribute to late saxophonist Bobby Keys

The Rolling Stones have paid tribute to the late saxophonist Bobby Keys, who died yesterday (December 2) after battling cirrhosis of the liver.

Keys had played regularly with the band since 1969 and was heralded as a "dear friend" in the tribute.

The statement reads: "The Rolling Stones are devastated by the loss of their very dear friend and legendary saxophone player, Bobby Keys. Bobby made a unique musical contribution to the band since the 1960s. He will be greatly missed."

Guitarist Keith Richards also paid his own personal respects, posting a hand-written note which read, "I have lost the largest pal in the world and I can't express the sense of sadness I feel although Bobby would tell me to cheer up."

On top of his work as a session musician with George Harrison, The Who, Eric Clapton and many more, Keys is best known for his sax solo on The Rolling Stones' 1971 hit 'Brown Sugar', and featured on the 1969 album 'Let It Bleed' as well as the LPs 'Sticky Fingers', 'Exile On Main St', 'Goats Head Soup' and 'Emotional Rescue'.

Keys released two solo albums, 1972's 'Bobby Keys' - which featured George Harrison and Ringo Starr of The Beatles – and 1975's 'Gimme The Key'.
