Rick Anderson, the co-founding bassist of the Tubes who was with the band for a half-century and played on “She’s a Beauty,” “Talk to Ya Later” and “White Punks on Dope,” has died. He was 75.
The band said in a statement that Anderson died December 16 but did not give a cause or other details. “We lost our brother on 12/16/22,” the Tubes wrote on social media (see the Instagram post below). “Rick brought a steady and kind presence to the band for 50 years.

Anderson played on all of the band’s albums from its 1975 debut to 1996 and continued to tour with them until 2022.

Fronted by singer Fee Waybill, the Tubes opened for Led Zeppelin in the Bay Area in 1973 and was signed to Jerry Moss and Herb Albert’s A&M Records the next year. Its 1975 debut album includes the FM hit “White Punks on Dope” — which hit the Top 30 in the UK — along with fan favorites “What Do You Want from Life?” and “Mondo Bondage.” It peaked at No. 113 on the Billboard 200.
When performing “White Punks” onstage, Waybill sported sky-high heels and a long white wig and big glasses and transformed into the way-over-the-top rock gawd “Quay Lude” — a bit he continues to this day. The band’s classic
