Richard Christopher Wakeman (born 18 May 1949) is an English keyboardist and composer best known for his multiple tenures in the progressive rock band Yes and for his prolific solo career, which has spanned six decades. His most successful and acclaimed albums are his first three progressive rock concept albums–The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1973), the UK number-one Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1974), and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (1975). AllMusic describes Wakeman as a "classically trained keyboardist extraordinaire who plied his trade with Yes and developed his own brand of live spectacular in a solo act."

Born and raised in West London, Wakeman intended to become a concert pianist but quit the Royal College of Music in 1969 and became a sought after session musician. Amongst the estimated 2,000 sessions he did, he played on "Space Oddity" and "Life on Mars?" for David Bowie, "Morning Has Broken" by Cat Stevens, and on tracks for Elton John, Marc Bolan, and Lou Reed. After a brief stint in the folk rock group Strawbs, during which he received national press attention, he joined Yes in 1971, playing on seminal albums such as Fragile (1971), Close to the Edge (1972) and Tales From Topographic Oceans (1973). His technical virtuosity on keyboards such as the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and Mellotron, combined with his flamboyant stage presence and trademark capes, made him an iconic figure in 1970s progressive rock. In 1974, he formed his touring and recording band, the English Rock Ensemble, and in the following year, expanded into soundtrack work for Ken Russell feature film Lisztomania (1975).

Wakeman's subsequent career is characterised by its vast productivity and stylistic diversity, with a discography exceeding 100 solo albums.

In 1984, Wakeman began a 23-year association with the independent label President Records, eventually producing nearly 40 albums for the company. His inaugural release for the label, Silent Nights (1985), was his first solo studio effort in over two years. Recorded with a band featuring Rick Fenn and Chas Cronk, the album produced the single "Glory Boys" which gained national attention. During this period, Wakeman also expanded his portfolio of television music, composing themes for the ITV drama Lytton's Diary, the tech programme Database, the BBC show Paddles Up, and the documentary Supercat. This success solidified his association with the genre, leading to a weekly New Age radio residency on Capital Radio and the release of The Family Album (1987), which featured compositions dedicated to his relatives and pets alongside scores for the films The Day After the Fair and Mackintosh.

Wakeman's first Christian release was his 1987 double album The Gospels. Based on the four canonical gospels, the project featured tenor Ramon Remedios, narrator Robert Powell, and the Eton College Chapel Choir. Originally conceived for a 1985 church fundraiser, the work was expanded into a full studio production and premiered at the Royal Albert Hall. A subsequent 1988 performance in Caesarea, Israel, was broadcast to an international television audience. He also returned to conceptual rock with Time Machine (1988), loosely inspired by the H. G. Wells novel. The album featured guest vocalists Roy Wood and Tracy Ackerman. Though Wakeman had envisioned a grand production involving an orchestra, choir, and a celebrity ice show, these plans were ultimately abandoned due to insufficient funding.

In March 1988, motivated by a need to stabilise their finances, Wakeman and Carter relocated the family Peel on the Isle of Man. He converted a coach house on the property into a 24-track recording facility, which he named Bajonor Studios—an acronym derived from the first names of his family members. The studio was a strategic compromise; Wakeman had previously lost film-scoring opportunities due to the prohibitive costs of renting commercial London studios, and the private facility allowed for lower production overheads.

1988–1997: Yes reunions and media expansion

In late 1988, Wakeman got together with former Yes bandmates Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, and Steve Howe to form a new group, Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. The band originated when Anderson had become increasingly frustrated with Yes's commercial direction, and left the band to make music that reflected the band's 1970s sound. Their self-titled album was released in 1989, and the tour marked Wakeman's first major US tour in ten years. Tracks originally put down for a second album were added to an in-progress Yes album and released as Union in 1991, which transformed Yes into an eight-piece formation with Wakeman sharing keyboards with original Yes member Tony Kaye. Wakeman has openly stated his dislike for Union, partly due to the fact that session musicians were brought in to re-write and perform parts that he and Howe had already put down. However, he later chose the Union Tour tour of 1991–1992 as his favourite with Yes, where he formed a strong friendship with their 1980s guitarist and singer-songwriter Trevor Rabin. Wakeman confirmed his exit from the group in 1993 following managerial disputes with the band's and his own.

Wakeman continued with his solo career in parallel; in 1990 he revived his English Rock Ensemble with Holt, Fernandez, and Paton for a European tour and recorded a new rock score for a colourised re-release of The Phantom of the Opera, featuring Chrissie Hammond on vocals, put out as Phantom Power in 1991. He embarked on two UK tours supporting his two The Classical Connection albums with himself and Paton in a stripped back stage production. In the first half of the 1990s, Wakeman performed and released music in aid of ASSIST, a California-based Christian organisation founded by journalist Dan Wooding, author of Wakeman's biography. In 1994, Wakeman completed the Simply Acoustic Tour, a series of solo piano concerts in the US in aid of ASSIST. Recordings from shows in Virginia and the Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California was released on The Piano Album in 1995. The latter show was attended by 8,000 people. Wakeman formed Hope Records to release this new Christian music, and decided to use the royalty payments to fund the production of more albums for the label.

In October 1992, Wakeman embarked on a world tour with a four-piece group of Fernandez, guitarist and bassist Alan Thomson, and his son Adam Wakeman on additional keyboards. The tour lasted until 1994, and was organised as Wakeman wished to tour with a second keyboardist to "free [him] up to do more things" on stage. The tour marked the release of Wakeman with Wakeman, an album of keyboard compositions written and performed by the pair. They released No Expense Spared in 1993, Romance of the Victorian Age in 1994, and Vignettes in 1996. In 1993, Wakeman's financial situation took an unexpected turn when he was demanded to pay almost £70,000 to the Inland Revenue for interest charges and unpaid penalties related to tax he had paid for the preceding six years. He later wrote: "With help from Brian Lane's office and Yes's accountants, in my signing away all publishing income from everything I had ever written ... Twenty-two years' work had vanished in the three seconds it had taken to sign my name." Wakeman credits his 1993 appearance on the evening talk show Danny Baker After All as a turning point in his television career, after he told a story about being arrested in Moscow for smuggling a KGB uniform out of the country.

In mid-1995, Wakeman became involved with Phillip Gandey's family circus entertainment project Cirque Surreal, writing and recording "timeless" pieces to enhance the show's various characters. The show was initially held at the Brighton Festival, and Wakeman went out to perform it live with his band at other venues, including the Cheltenham Festival. Around the same time, Wakeman scored the soundtrack to Bullet to Beijing, a made-for-television film starring Michael Caine and Jason Connery. He also scored its sequel, Midnight in Saint Petersburg. Wakeman left Yes in May 1997 before he could tour with them, due to scheduling conflicts and lack of coordination between the artists' management. In June 1997, Wakeman became the host of the stand-up comedy television show Live at Jongleurs. Later in 1997, his 20-minute choral piece "Noah", written for the English Chamber Choir, premiered in London. Wakeman performed the piece with the choir once more in 2011.

1998–2008: Return to the Centre of the Earth, English Rock Ensemble revival, and final Yes run

In 1998, he started work on Return to the Centre of the Earth, a sequel album to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Journey to the Centre of the Earth. The idea first came to Wakeman in 1991 during a tour of Italy, which led to discussions about the project with Atlantic Records that year about a re-recording of the original album with new equipment and arrangements, but the idea was rejected. It was revived in 1996 when Wakeman received offers from three record companies willing to fund and release a new "epic" album. After a deal with EMI Classics was made, a story based on three unnamed travellers and their attempt to follow the original route was finalised, and recording began in 1998 with a band, the London Symphony Orchestra, the English Chamber Choir, Patrick Stewart as the narrator, and guest performances from Trevor Rabin, Ozzy Osbourne, and Bonnie Tyler. Released in 1999, the album went to number 34 in the UK, Wakeman's first album to enter the chart in 12 years. Recording was temporarily disrupted because of Wakeman's health. He made a cameo appearance in the 2002 thriller horror film Alone as a hospital patient. In 2003, Wakeman starred in the BBC television show Grumpy Old Men, and stayed on as a regular until the show ended in 2006. The show increased his national profile and made him a regular in the after dinner speech circuit.

In April 2002, Wakeman rejoined Yes for the fifth and final time, and said it took eight months to get the necessary paperwork to make it happen. The band toured worldwide with the Full Circle Tour and 35th Anniversary Tours, which ran from 2002 to 2004. Wakeman described the band's playing during his return: "It was far and away the best the band had ever been ... there was no staleness, there was a lot of freshness." The only new studio material worked on during this time were bonus tracks on The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection. After the 2004 tour Yes entered a four-year hiatus, during which Wakeman retired from large scale tours following ongoing health problems. When the band regrouped in 2008, Wakeman's son Oliver replaced him on keyboards.

In April 2005, Wakeman and his band performed three shows in Havana, Cuba, including an outdoor show attended by an estimated 10,000 people. They came about after Wakeman was offered to perform there to support a charitable foundation that supports a children's cancer hospital. The first two shows were filmed and released as Made in Cuba, proceeds from which were given to the hospital. Cuban leader Fidel Castro greeted Wakeman, thanking him for his humanitarian support. This was followed by a performance of Return to the Centre of the Earth with his band, orchestra, and choir in Quebec, Canada. The show featured Jon Anderson as a guest performer, which led to the pair touring the UK together as Anderson/Wakeman. Wakeman scored the 2007 documentary film In Search of the Great Beast 666, about the life of occultist Aleister Crowley. He toured the UK in 2007 with a new production, the Grumpy Old Picture Show. Inspired by his appearances on Grumpy Old Men, the show combined live performances and stories with visual accompaniments including old photos and pre-recorded sketches. The initial run of 14 dates were so successful, Wakeman completed a further 24 dates in the following year. During this period, Wakeman also collaborated with Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord for a performance at the Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Sunflower Jam charity. Although the pair intended to record an album together, the project was curtailed by Lord's cancer diagnosis and his subsequent death in 2012; their Sunflower Jam set remained Lord's final live appearance. In July 2011, Wakeman reunited with Strawbs during their acoustic summer tour with a guest appearance at their show at AbbeyFest.

The discovery of a long-lost conductor's score in 2009 prompted Wakeman to record an expanded version of Journey to the Centre of the Earth in 2012. Originally truncated to fit the constraints of a single LP, the re-recorded work spanned 54 minutes and featured the English Rock Ensemble with original vocalist Ashley Holt and second vocalist Hayley Sanderson, the Orion Orchestra, and narration by Peter Egan. To commemorate the original album's fortieth anniversary, Wakeman performed this expanded version on a 14-date UK tour in 2014. This project served as the catalyst for a similar expansion of The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Released in June 2016, this 88-minute version, narrated by Ian Lavender, was Wakeman's first album produced through direct-to-fan crowdfunding. He premiered the work live the same day at the Stone Free Festival at London's O2 Arena.

In June 2013, Wakeman participated in the Medieval Mystery Play Festival with performances at Blackfriars Priory—where he was joined by his children Oliver, Adam, and Jemma—and the Cheltenham Centaur. The latter featured new arrangements of his 1970s trilogy performed with the English Rock Ensemble and the Cheltenham Symphony Orchestra. Although he had planned to stage King Arthur at Kingsholm Stadium that year, the event was cancelled. Following a 10-show piano residency at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2013, he announced a Wakemanfest event at the Gliderdrome in Boston, Lincolnshire for October 2015; however, the festival and a subsequent Scandinavian tour were postponed after Wakeman suffered an undisclosed health scare. Once recovered, he spent much of 2016 to 2018 touring globally with Yes bandmates Jon Anderson and Trevor Rabin as Yes Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman, a collaboration that performed music from different eras of the band's catalogue.

A significant shift in Wakeman's solo career occurred in January 2016 following the death of his long-time friend David Bowie. A live piano tribute of "Life on Mars?" on BBC Radio 2 received such viral acclaim that Wakeman released it as a charity single for Macmillan Cancer Support. The reception inspired a trilogy of solo piano albums: Piano Portraits (2017), Piano Odyssey (2018), and Christmas Portraits (2019). The first of these reached No. 6 in the UK, marking his highest chart position since 1975 and his first silver-certified album in the UK since 1977. This commercial resurgence culminated in 2019 with his first solo tour of the United States in 13 years.

In June 2020, Wakeman returned to progressive rock with The Red Planet, an instrumental rock concept album inspired by Mars that featured his English Rock Ensemble. He followed this in March 2023 with A Gallery of the Imagination, a stylistically diverse collection of songs with Sanderson on vocals and instrumentals. During this period, he also staged a significant retrospective at the London Palladium in February 2023, performing The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and King Arthur in their entirety alongside a selection of Yes material. These performances were subsequently released as a live album.

Following a 2024 UK tour dedicated to his Journey and Yes catalogues, Wakeman embarked on what was billed as his final solo piano tours of North America and Europe. A centrepiece of these performances was "Yessonata", a 30-minute piano composition interpolating various themes and melodies from his tenure with Yes. A 20-minute studio version of the piece was later paired with a similar suite based on themes from King Arthur for a standalone album release. In 2024, Wakeman also performed at the Starmus Festival, debuting an original composition for piano and orchestra written as a tribute to primatologist and climate campaigner Jane Goodall. Following a period of recouperation from surgery, Wakeman began a North American tour with himself and eldest son Oliver Wakeman on additional keyboards for the first time in March 2026, billed as Wakeman and Son.

Instruments

By the end of 1972, Wakeman's typical keyboard setup included piano, electric piano, Mellotron, Hammond organ, and Minimoog synthesizer, and he had played a pipe organ and harpsichord on record. He went on to use many later models of synthesizers including the Polymoog and the short-lived Birotron, which he helped fund in its development. Because of the advent of digital keyboards at that time, and expensive components used in the instruments' manufacture, the Birotron was never a commercial or technical success and only 35 were produced. In recent years, Wakeman has used various Korg models, a Yamaha Montage, and the Memotron, a digital version of the original Mellotron.

An urban legend claims that Wakeman got so frustrated with one Mellotron that he poured petrol on it and set fire to it, which he said in 2010 was only "semi-true", and had become an exaggerated story over time. He clarified that some were so far beyond repair they were taken apart and burnt, but he kept the frames. A double Mellotron that he had made was stolen and reappeared in America.

In addition to keyboards, Wakeman still owns the soprano saxophone that he used at the Royal College of Music, and can play some rhythm and bass guitar.

Recognition and influence

In his foreword for Wakeman's 1979 biography, Elton John named The Six Wives of Henry VIII as one of his favourite albums. He noted Wakeman's "brilliant" technique and wrote that his "mastery of electronic instruments only adds to his abilities". In 2011, MusicRadar included Wakeman among "The 27 greatest keyboard players of all time". In 2019, readers of Prog voted him the second greatest progressive rock keyboard player, with the magazine stating, "Wakeman's time with Yes helped define prog as we know it, being filled with timeless brilliance [...] The man's style is fluent, and underlines a love of many genres, all cohesively brought into focus." In 2024, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph ranked him as the second greatest keyboard player of all time.

Keyboardists who have cited Wakeman as an influence included Dave Greenfield of the Stranglers and Mark Kelly of Marillion, who cited Wakeman as his primary influence.

Personal life

Family

Wakeman has been married four times and has six children. In March 1970, at the age of 20, he married Rosaline Woolford. They had two sons, Oliver and Adam. Their marriage became strained by the end of 1976, as Wakeman was advised to take a year out of the country for tax purposes and was to spend several months recording with Yes in Switzerland. Woolford was reluctant to move with the family, and for this and other reasons, filed for divorce in 1977. In later life Wakeman said the marriage was a mistake for both of them as they were too young and were "not ready for what the musical world was about to throw at me." He began a relationship with Swiss-born Danielle Corminboeuf, a secretary at Mountain Studios in Montreux, while recording with Yes at the same studio. They married in January 1980 in Barbados. Wakeman left their home on the Isle of Man and for a period lived in hotels. In 2004, Wakeman revealed that he had had an extramarital affair with American-born designer Denise Gandrup, who first met Wakeman in 1972 and made several of his capes. After they split in 1981, they reconnected in 1985 and had one daughter. Wakeman felt it best to keep the relationship and child secret to protect his family, but continued to financially support his daughter.

In December 2011, Wakeman married journalist Rachel Kaufman who is 25 years his junior. The pair met in 2004 when Kaufman conducted a press interview with him, and were engaged in 2007.

Health

Wakeman has faced a number of health issues. In his twenties he had three heart attacks due to smoking and drinking heavily and overworking. Wakeman stopped smoking in 1979, but continued to drink and recalled "wild" nights with Keith Moon, Vivian Stanshall, and Rick Parfitt.

In September 1984, Wakeman was fined £155 and banned from driving for one year for speeding and being over the drink drive limit. On 8 August 1985, Wakeman became teetotal after he fell ill during an Australian tour. He flew home where a doctor revealed he had alcoholic hepatitis, signs of cirrhosis and organ failure, and said he had six months to live if he continued to drink. In 1998, Wakeman collapsed on a golf course and was rushed to hospital, where he was diagnosed with double pneumonia, pleurisy, high blood pressure, and showed signs of Legionnaires' disease. He was placed in an induced coma, and at one point his doctors gave him 24 hours to live.

In 2016 Wakeman announced he had type-2 diabetes. In 2023, he said his playing was affected by macular degeneration in his left eye, which he treats with monthly injections. He also has arthritis in his hands, legs and feet, for which he wears half gloves while performing. In 2025, Wakeman had surgery on his spine and brain to treat his normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Wakeman has never used drugs and believes that had he taken them he would have done so to excess and died.

Other activities

In the 1970s, Wakeman met Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and bought Tropical Saint, a racehorse that belonged to her. After it died, he bought Balinloning, a small horse that he had in care for a year and entered in races.

In 1977, Wakeman was one of several musicians, along with Peter Frampton, Mick Jagger, and Paul Simon, who were part of the ownership group of the Philadelphia Fury, a new football team to compete in the North American Soccer League. The team split in 1980. Wakeman is a supporter of Brentford F.C. and in 1979, was a director of the team for one year. In 1983, he became chairman of Camberley Town F.C. while he was living there. Wakeman is also a supporter of Manchester City F.C.

Wakeman has been a supporter of the Conservative Party, saying he was "unique in [Yes] as a card-carrying Conservative".

Wakeman had a renewal of his Christian faith which began at around the time of his 1984 marriage to Carter.

In the 1990s, Wakeman bought a house in Los Cristianos, Tenerife.

In 1993 Wakeman was invited to play the piano at the inauguration of US President Bill Clinton. He declined due to unavailability.

In 1996, Wakeman was involved in a plane crash while landing at Derry, Northern Ireland. The eight-seater Manx Airlines plane lost power and its undercarriage collapsed, causing the plane to land on its rear wheel and the front crashing onto the tarmac, with the propellers and engine breaking off. After passing a medical check he played at an awards ceremony dinner for the same airline.

In September 2005 Wakeman began to host a Saturday morning radio show on Planet Rock called Rick's Place, that went on to feature David Jensen as co-host. The show ended in December 2010 after over 200 original episodes. Several months before its cancellation, Wakeman began a pre-recorded Saturday night show on Dublin-based Radio Nova with his friend David Hoffmann which lasted through 2012. In 2009, Wakeman recorded an online interview series called Face to Face with various musicians. In 2020 he launched Rick's Plaice, a subscription-based video series based on the format of his former Planet Rock show. The series lasted two seasons.

Freemasonry

In 2007 Wakeman became a Freemason, joining the Chelsea Lodge No. 3098 which is made up of entertainers. His father was a member of the Brent Valley Lodge No. 3940, and the support that Wakeman and his mother received from his friends at the Lodge following his death was a catalyst for Wakeman to learn more about Freemasonry. In 2019, Wakeman was elected as an honorary member of his late father's Lodge. In 2011, Wakeman joined the Knights Templar fraternity, and is also a member of the Vaudeville Lodge. He hosted the Grumpy Old Rockstar's Chelsea Lodge Ladies Festival in the following year. Wakeman appears in his Masonic apron in the 2017 documentary series Inside the Freemasons.

Charity work and patronage

In 1988, Wakeman was elected into the Lord's Taverners cricket charity, and was chairman of the Isle of Man branch with his wife in the early 1990s. He took up golf in the 1980s after becoming teetotal, and has since taken part in many charity tournaments. From 1995 until at least 2012, the Rick Wakeman Celebrity Classic golf tournament took place at Burhill Golf Club in Surrey, raising funds in aid of the children's charity Sparks.

Wakeman is an honorary president of the Classic Rock Society, formed in Rotherham in 1991. In 2009, he became a patron of Tech Music School. He was one of the board of directors of the Performing Artists' Media Rights Association (PAMRA), a non-profit organisation committed to promoting musicians' rights and income.

He is a patron and active supporter of several animal welfare charities, including Friends of the Animals and Saving Strays. In 2017, Wakeman was made an ambassador to Animals Asia Foundation, of which he has supported since 2013.

Awards and honours

In October 1997, Wakeman received a Golden Badge Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA), given for outstanding contributions to the British music and entertainment industry.
