Christopher North, Ambrosia Keyboardist, Passes Away

It's March 31st.

Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, I'm Corey with the

story.

Christopher North, the founding keyboardist for the Grammy-nominated rock band, Ambrosia,

has passed away at age 75.

The group behind those smooth hits like, How Much I Feel, and Biggest Part of Me, share

the news on Facebook this past Monday, March 30th.

North had just come through a tough fight with throw cancer, but he ended up losing a

battle with pneumonia complications after three weeks in the hospital.

Back in October of last year, the band had asked fans for prayers when he got hit with

a freak accident and that same lung issue.

Bandmates like David Pack are pouring out love, calling him the Hammond B-3 King, with

a wild-stage energy that lit up every show.

North brought that bluesy rock fire from his San Francisco roots, where he started jamming

in bands as a 13-year-old kid.

He helped launch Ambrosia in 1970 with Pack, Joe Puerza, and Burley Drummond, dropping

their debut album in 1975.

North stuck around for tours into the 2020s, even lending keys to projects like the Alan

Parsons Project, and a Doors tribute.

His sound shaped soft rock for a generation, and he leaves behind Brother Richard, Sun Reed,

and Daughter Crystal.

Time was vibes that keep echoing.
