Mick Bolton, a keyboardist who played with Mott the Hoople and Dexys Midnight Runners, among others, died overnight, on January 1, 2021, in his sleep. The news was reported on various social media sites on New Year’s Day, including a post by his former Mott bandmate, Morgan Fisher. Bolton was 72. (He is not the guitarist of the same name who co-founded UFO.)
Fisher, who himself turned 71 on Jan. 1, called Bolton “one of the sweetest of men, and a fine musician.”
