Ian Bairnson, longtime guitarist for the Alan Parsons Project who also featured prominently on Kate Bush’s first two albums, has died at the age of 69
The Scottish-born musician’s wife Leila Bairnson revealed on social media that her husband died following a “long battle with dementia.”
“It is with deep sadness and regret that I let you know that my loving husband Ian Bairnson has passed away on Friday 7 April,” Leila wrote . “Ian was the sweetest, kindest, loving husband I could ever have wished for and I take comfort that he is resting now up there in his very own piece of ‘Blue Blue Sky’. Although Ian has left us, his musical legacy stays with us and will continue to delight and brighten our lives, as it did his, forever.
After a stint as a session musician — he could play keyboards and saxophone in addition to guitar — Bairnson was enlisted to join the Scottish rock band Pilot in 1973, who soon after had a worldwide hit with the 1974 single “Magic.” Pilot’s first LP was produced by studio wizard Alan Parsons, who upon forming his own band, recruited Bairnson to take part in his Alan Parsons Project.
“I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my good friend and musical icon, Ian Bairnson,” ParsonsSaturday. “I have always considered Ian a musical genius. It was a great pleasure to have him participate on every album by The Alan Parsons Project and several other albums under my name since. He has played with many other talented artists as well throughout his incredible career.”Tales of Mystery and Imagination.
“Another vivid memory I have of Ian – I was somewhat unenthusiastic about Eye In The Sky, when we recorded it in the early 80s, and tried to drop it. Ian however, thought the song was going to be a huge hit, and clearly, he was right!,” Parsons continued.
