Richard Huxley (5 August 1940 – 11 February 2013) was an English musician who was the bassist for the Dave Clark Five, a group that was part of the British Invasion.
Born at Livingstone Hospital, Dartford, Kent, he joined the group in 1958, originally as a guitarist, before switching to bass, and played on all of the band's hits including Glad All Over, Over and Over, and Bits and Pieces. After the group disbanded in 1970, Huxley worked in property development but maintained an involvement in the music business.[1] He was in attendance for the ceremonial induction of the group into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2008, along with Lenny Davidson and Dave Clark.[2]
Huxley died 11 February 2013, at the age of 72, after suffering from emphysema for some years.[1] His second wife Anne had died a year previously.[citation needed]
