Mick Ralphs, Guitarist for Mott the Hoople and Bad Company, Passes Away Mick Ralphs, the British rock guitarist whose career encompassed both the iconoclastic with eclectic glam rockers Mott the Hoople and iconic with melodic blues-rockers Bad Company, passed away on June 23, 2025, from complications of a debilitating stroke he suffered in 2016. Ralphs was 81. Ralphs first came to public attention with Mott the Hoople. The band, led by Ralphs and lead singer Ian Hunter, amassed a minor cult following between 1969 and 1972, primarily due to their constant touring despite all four albums released during this period flopping badly. Mott the Hoople was on the verge of dissolving when David Bowie came to the rescue, penning the band’s 1972 breakthrough hit “All the Young Dudes.” Success, however, did not bring about satisfaction. Ralphs, none too keen on the glitter rock direction Mott the Hoople had taken, left the band in 1973 in search of more organic ground in which to plant his musical vision. He found it by teaming up with vocalist Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke, previously of the blues quartet Free, best known for “All Right Now,” and bassist Boz Burrell, whose résumé included a stint with progressive rockers King Crimson. The new band, named Bad Company, quickly jelled professionally and personally. Aided by association with Led Zeppelin — the band
