Rab Noakes, the widely respected Scottish singer-songwriter, founding member of Stealers Wheel, and latter-day broadcast executive, died suddenly on Friday (11) at the age of 75.
Fellow Scottish musician and longtime friend Barbara Dickson, with whom Noakes released the EP Reunited in 2014, among other collaborations, posted: “My dear and old friend Rab Noakes has died suddenly in hospital today. I am shocked. We had so much in common – The Everly Brothers, the Flying Burrito Brothers and an enduring love of songs, particularly traditional music. Sleep well, Rab. May you rest in peace.”
