Ed Gagliardi Biography

Ed Gagliardi is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on February 13, 1952 in Brooklyn, New York, United States. Edward John ‘Ed’ Gagliardi (February 13, 1952 – May 11, 2014) was an American bass guitarist, best known as the original bass player for the 1970s rock band Foreigner. He was a member of Foreigner from the beginning in 1976. Gagliardi, most notably, played a red Rickenbacker bass guitar, left-handed even though he was naturally right-handed. It is widely known that he did so out of admiration, and devotion to Paul McCartney (most often self-doctored from right-handed basses, reengineered and played upside down, by Gagliardi himself). Gagliardi was on the albums Foreigner and Double Vision, but was fired from the band in 1979.

Gagliardi died of cancer on May 11, 2014, after battling it for eight years. Friends and family held a private ceremony.
