Happy Birthday to Robert Fripp, who is turning 80 today! Guitarist in King Crimson from 1968 up until more or less now. Although there’s been no activity from the band since 2021, no official breakup’s been announced. There’s even rumours about a new album, which has not been denied by Robert Fripp.
In addition to King Crimson’s 13 studio albums and around 20 live albums, Robert Fripp has released three solo albums and a load of albums in collaboration with other musicians. He has also done a fair share of session work, perhaps most notably the guitar on the David Bowie’s classic song Heroes.
However, to celebrate Robert Fripp turning 80, we need some classic King Crimson. So get ready for a twelve minutes prog extravaganza. Happy Birthday to Robert Fripp ![]()
