Mo Foster – a celebrated session bassist who worked with some of the most influential figures in popular music – died July 3, aged 78.
Guitarist Ray Russell, Foster’s close friend and longstanding collaborator, confirmed the news on social media, sharing, “There will never be another Mo – his values and integrity were emblazoned on anything he wrote and played and composed. An empty chair, a lead waiting to be attached to the bass, and an amp that will remain silent, but he will remain long after the song has ended.”
