What a sad bit of news that the legendary musician behind so many C64 & Amiga tunes died yesterday, on the 4th Of March 2007. I remember him fondly for his tunes to so many Bitmap Brothers games. And will be sadly missed.
I found a little tit bit of information for you.

Ã,» March 4th, 2007 - Richard Joseph has passed away
Hello. I'm very sorry to inform you that musician Richard Joseph (Barbarian, Cauldron 2) passed away this afternoon. He was diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year, and was undergoing chemo but was very weak. He slipped into a coma earlier today but sadly his body gave up earlier this afternoon.
Fucking cancer.
Rip Richard, made some good tunes.
That's shit. RIP
Even though he wasn't from my era, I still played a few games with his music, and it sucks he had to go. RIP, classic game music has suffered a great loss.
