Ricky Gardiner, the guitarist who played stinging, obtuse leads throughout Davie Bowie’s iconic Low and Iggy Pop’s rowdy 'Lust for Life,' has died at age 73.
Gardiner, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1948, claimed to have the ability to sing Italian arias at the age of 2 on. He was a self-taught musician who played in the school band, the Vostoks, beginning in 1962, followed by the Kingbees and the System.
Fatherhood made Gardiner abandon touring and set up his own recording studio, where he made music for meditation. He released an album of guitar and computer music in 1985,. He continued to make music into the Nineties but stepped away after developing electrosensitivity, which reduced his time around computers. He nevertheless continued to make music with his wife, Virginia Scott.
