At 79, sax legend Mel Collins still owns the stage—his unmistakable tone has defined rock’s biggest moments. From King Crimson’s prog-rock heyday to Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stones, he’s been the unsung hero behind iconic solos. A last-minute call in ’75 landed him on Bob Dylan’s “Desire” sessions, where his blistering tenor solo on “Romance in Durango” became a classic. His credits span Bryan Ferry to Tears for Fears, and he even returned to King Crimson later in life. No name needed—just one note, and the world remembers.
