Wings guitarist Henry McCullough critically ill

While the BBC erroneously reported that Wings guitarist Henry McCullough had died, he’s still clinging to life after a heart attack. But the outlook isn’t good.

The guitarist is best known for two moments in classic rock: His guitar solo on Paul McCartney and Wings’ hit “My Love” and the voice on Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” that says “I don’t know. I was really drunk at the time.”

The British guitarist was with Wings for only 18 months in the early ‘70s but left a stamp on the band and popular music. Perhaps his most high-profile gig was as Joe Cocker’s guitarist at Woodstock in 1969 – ironically, playing on a Beatles song, “A Little Help From My Friends.” Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page recorded the guitar on Cocker's studio version, but McCullough held his own live.

Updates will come as they develop.
