Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Rick Wakeman's third album, The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table did very well for A&M records. Rick's ice-capades type show that he developed for the album, however, was a total failure.
  Edit Share Hide
- When Rick wrote and submitted The Six Wives Of Henry VIII to A&M Records, they hated it. Out of Rick's 96 albums to date, Six Wives... remains one of his all-time biggest selling records.
  Edit Share Hide
- Rick has six children. Oliver (born in 1972), Adam (March 1974) and Benjamin (February 1978) from his first wife, none from his second wife, Jemma (February 1983) and Oscar (May 1986) from Nina Carter, and Amanda (2004) from his girlfriend Rachel.
