Ever wondered what Rick Wakeman is best known for? What David Bowie songs he played on? Or what he's up to today? Tune in now to find out answers to these questions and lots more .... Rick Wakeman is a pioneering English keyboardist, composer, and producer celebrated for his virtuosity and innovation in progressive rock and beyond. Born in London, Rick showed prodigious talent from an early age, studying piano and honing his craft at the Royal College of Music. His career began as a sought-after session musician, working with icons like David Bowie—creating the unforgettable piano part for "Life on Mars?"—and Cat Stevens, where his contributions to hits like "Morning Has Broken" showcased his melodic brilliance. In 1971, Rick joined the progressive rock band Yes, bringing a new dimension to their sound with his mastery of keyboards and synthesizers. His work on albums like Fragile, Close to the Edge, and the ambitious Tales from Topographic Oceans are heralded as some of the finest in the genre. His use of cutting-edge equipment and his larger-than-life stage persona, often featuring capes and elaborate setups, became trademarks of the band's success during the '70s. Parallel to his tenure with Yes, Rick launched a groundbreaking solo career. His debut album, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, was a daring instrumental concept piece blending rock, classical, and historical themes. This was followed by Journey to the Centre of the Earth, a symphonic rock masterpiece recorded with a full orchestra and choir, and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, which featured lavish live performances on ice. Rick's career has been marked by constant reinvention. After leaving and rejoining Yes multiple times, he expanded his repertoire with a diverse array of solo projects, film and TV scores, and collaborations with artists like Black Sabbath, Lou Reed, and Elton John. His music transcends genres, blending rock, classical, jazz, and even comedic elements, reflecting his eclectic influences and creative restlessness. Beyond music, Rick has become a beloved figure in the entertainment world, known for his sharp wit and engaging personality. He has appeared on television shows, hosted radio programs, and written books, further endearing himself to fans worldwide. Despite health challenges, including heart issues and a diabetes diagnosis, Wakeman remains an active performer, continuing to tour and record new material. Rick Wakeman's contributions to music are vast and enduring, influencing countless musicians and redefining what keyboards can achieve in rock. From his seminal work with Yes to his genre-defying solo projects, Wakeman's career is a testament to innovation, passion, and the boundless possibilities of music.

At the time, surely Kateryn Parr had her reservations about being Henry VIII's sixth wife?Aside from being a tyrannical maniac who'd just beheaded his last wife, Catherine Howard, he was getting old, angry and his ulcerous leg was getting smelly.However, Kateryn was smart - she was the first queen to be a published author - and she loved the glitz and glamour of her new position.What was her life like before Henry entered the picture? How did she narrowly escape being sent to the tower for heresy? And why was her marriage after Henry so controversial?In the sixth and final episode of our limited series, Secret Wives of the Six Wives, Kate is joined by Tudor export Nicola Tallis, to help us find out more about the woman who would thrive as a queen and go on to live to survive Henry VIII.This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

Henry VIII called her his 'rose without a thorn', but the teenage Catherine Howard was to fall out of favour less than 18 months after becoming Queen of England.Out of all of Henry's wives it could be argued that the young queen, who was a cousin of Anne Boleyn, is most deserving of our sympathy.How did her past come back to haunt her? What would it have been like for this young woman to be with Henry VIII - an older man with a stinky leg ulcer? And what was the truth behind the scandal of her downfall?In the fifth and penultimate episode of our limited series, Secret Wives of the Six Wives, Kate is joined by Tudor export Nicola Tallis, to help us find out more about the young woman who had to deal with so much drama and tragedy in her short life.This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

Anne of Cleves gets a pretty raw deal in the history books.She's often accused of being ugly, after Henry VIII claimed the painting he had made of her was overly flattering.While their marriage was short-lived, is it time we give Anne of Cleves, who hailed from a small state in Germany, the props she deserves?Just who was this woman who came from relative obscurity into the madness of the Tudor court, and came out one of life's winners?In the fourth episode of our limited series, Secret Wives of the Six Wives, Kate is joined once again by Tudor export Nicola Tallis, to help us find out more about the woman who arguably played the game of being Henry's wife better than any of the five others.This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

Meek and mild, or smart and scheming? Have we all been underestimating the third wife of Henry VIII?Was Jane Seymour the meek and mild lady she's often portrayed as, or was she more smart and scheming than we give her credit for?Although her time as queen didn't last long, Seymour's legacy was huge. Not only did she give Henry his first son, she was also the only one of his wives not to lose her title, her head, or her husband.Who was the real woman behind the reputation? How did she cleverly win Henry's favour? And how did her life meet a sudden and tragic end?In the third episode of our limited series, Secret Wives of the Six Wives, Kate is joined once again by Tudor export Nicola Tallis, to help us find out more about the woman who finally gave Henry what he craved: a male heir.This episode was edited by Tom Delargy.

How did Anne Boleyn go from being a commoner to being the Queen of England?As soon as she arrived in the Tudor court she stood out from the other beautiful women who were throwing themselves at Henry VIII, but made him wait for seven years before they eventually got together.In the second episode of our limited series, Secret Wives of the Six Wives, Kate is joined once again by Tudor export Nicola Tallis, to help us find out more about the woman who helped alter the future of England.What made some say that she seemed more French than English?

Did all of Henry VIII's wives struggle with fertility problems?
Headlining the Te Ahurei Toi o Tamaki Auckland Arts Festival, SIX the Musical tells the story of the six wives of Henry VIII with an empowering take on history.
In part one, Katherine worked hard to be the perfect wife for her first two husbands. She never thought husband #3 would be the King. But Katherine thrives as Henry's sixth wife and starts using her platform as queen to promote her passion for religious reform. She thought she had Henry's full support – until she spots an arrest warrant with her name on it, signed by the King himself.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Katherine Parr was Henry VIII's sixth and final wife and is known for being the one who survived. But she almost didn't survive marriage to Henry, and for a way different reason than any of his other wives. Katherine was forced to give up her dream of marrying for love when Henry chose her as his next wife. She decides to turn lemons into lemonade and make the most of her new-found power and status as queen. But ambition is the fastest way to make enemies at court – and Katherine will learn the hard way just how far power-hungry courtiers will go to bring her down.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In Part One, Anne climbed the ranks and became Henry's second wife. Now she has to make up where the last queen failed and give Henry a male heir. But when that proves easier said than done, Henry's eyes start to wander…right over to Anne's new lady-in-waiting, Jane Seymour. Anne wants to stop history from repeating itself. But she has no idea how low her enemies will go to get her out of the way.Listen to Even The Rich on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

All her life, Catherine Howard had to fight for agency in a world of men who tried to control her. When she becomes Queen number five, she's given her first dose of power – and she's finally able to make some of her own choices…including choosing a lover she's actually into.

Henry VIII's six marriages are some of the most famous and tumultuous unions in history. Between his accession to the throne in 1509 and his death in 1547, Henry's quest for a male heir led him through a series of marriages, each marked by intrigue, drama, and often, tragedy. Think you know Henry VIII's six wives?
Anne Boleyn has been painted by history as a woman-hating vixen who weaseled her way into being Queen number two. But the real story is way more complicated. Anne started out as a pious lady-in-waiting who garnered the King's attention. When Henry's interest grows into a full-blown obsession, Anne decides she wants to be more than just another mistress. But first she'll have to convince him to leave his first wife – which means changing the religion of an entire country. NBD.

Anne of Cleves was planning on living a nice, quiet life in her small German province. But when Henry VIII proposes after seeing her portrait, her whole world gets turned upside down. Things become extra complicated when Anne and Henry finally meet in person. Henry decides he's not attracted to her – and tells anyone who will listen that she catfished him. Anne will have to find a way to stay out of the line of fire – or risk Henry trying to get rid of her by any means necessary.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

In part one, Catherine's once ideal marriage to Henry VIII started to sour when she didn't provide a son to inherit the throne. And now that he has a younger girlfriend, Henry is ready to do whatever it takes to replace and erase Catherine – and make Anne his new queen. But two decades on the throne have turned Catherine into a formidable opponent. And she's determined to hold on to her crown – no matter how ugly the fight gets.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Jane Seymour was a seemingly unremarkable woman destined to live on the fringes of other people's great lives – until she catches the eye of the king. Now that she has a better future in sight, Jane will use everything she's learned at court to ensure that she becomes Henry's third queen. But marrying Henry will turn out to be the easy part. After Anne Boleyn is beheaded, it's clear to Jane that there are no happily ever after guarantees with King Henry VIII.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

We mostly remember Henry VIII's six wives because of their fate at the hands of history's most notorious ex. But there's so much more to them than divorce, death and beheadings. Henry's first wife, Catherine of Aragon, was a Spanish princess who grew up believing that being Queen of England was her destiny and God-given right. But getting–and staying–on the throne turns out to be a lot more complicated than she thought. When she isn't able to have a healthy son and heir to the throne, Henry decides her time is up. But Catherine refuses to back down, even when someone new arrives and threatens her place on the throne.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
