The musician best known for playing the guitar riff in the James Bond theme tune has died.

Vic Flick, who was the lead guitarist on the famous track, is said to have been paid £6 to rearrange and record Monty Norman’s theme tune for Dr No, the first James Bond film.

Flick’s son, Kevin, announced on social media that his father had died aged 87 after having been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Born in Surrey in 1937, Flick worked with the likes of The Beatles, Tom Jones, the Bee Gees, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Cliff Richard throughout his career.

The famous theme song was recorded in 1962.

Not sure I can think of a more iconic movie soundtrack. When it got played during the film, you just knew shit was about to down big style.

RIP Vic

And £6 quid for that famous piece of soundtrack was absolutely taking the piss.
