Ian McLagan, the London-born keyboardist who wrote his name into rock history as a member of the Small Faces and the Faces and as a collaborator with other groups including the Rolling Stones, has died in Texas at the age of 69.
McLagan, who co-wrote Faces songs including Cindy Incidentally, You’re So Rude, Bad’n’Ruin and Three Button Hand Me Down, was also behind the distinctive Wurlitzer electric piano heard on tracks including the Faces’ Stay With Me and the Stones’ Miss You.
He died on Wednesday in Austin, Texas, where he had lived for 20 years, after what local reports said was a stroke.
