Allen Lanier |
Founding Blue Oyster Cult keyboardist and guitarist Allen
Lanier has died.
He was 66.
Lanier had been hospitalized with Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease, according to the band’s official Facebook page. “DFTR sweet
man,” the post reads, in apparent reference to their hit ‘Don’t Fear the
Reaper.’ “We love you and miss you.”
Apart from a two year absence in the ’80s, Lanier was with
B.O.C. from their inception in 1967 until his retirement in 2006. He co-wrote
several songs for the group, including ‘True Confessions,’ In Thee,’
‘Tenderloin,’ and ‘Lonely Teardrops.’
