Ian McDonald, a co-founder of pioneering progressive rock band King Crimson and stadium rock hitmaker Foreigner, has died. He was 75.
"He was incredibly brave and never lost his kindness or his sense of humor, even when the going was rough," Max McDonald said in a statement "My father was a brilliant, intuitive musician, a gentle soul and a wonderful dad. He will live on forever through his beautiful music and the love of his fans."
Born in London in 1946, McDonald formed King Crimson in 1968 with fellow musicians who included Greg Lake and Robert Fripp. He played multiple instruments, including saxophone, flute and vibraphone, on the band’s 1969 debut album, "In the Court of the Crimson King."
