I found this: http://www.artsjournal.com/slippeddisc/2011/10/more-sadness-the-tubular-bells-man-has-died.html
By "The Tubular Bells man" they do mean Bedford.  I'm not familiar with his stuff, still sad to hear.

Yes but some of the quotes further down say that this is an error including Oldfield's site.

I checked the link, that's talking about Mike Oldfield not dying in a jet-ski accident, says nothing about Bedford.

Bedford also played keyboards in KEVIN AYERS' early (and most inspired) bands; that's how he must have met Oldfield. His music will live forever.

Cry
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

By coincidence, I was listening to Camel's Live Record today when Peter Bardens introduced David Bedford as conductor of the orchestra. I remember David Bedford for his orchestral Tubular Bells and his musical version of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. RIP.

Oops
Thanks Jon for clearing that up for me.
RIP Mr. Bedford

That's a shame. :( So strange, I was just reading about him in this month's Prog magazine this last weekend for the first time in a while. Well, may he rest in peace.

Sad news indeed, but he had a pretty decent innings.

I only know him through his work with Mike Oldfield but obviously he was an important modern day composer and musician who also happened to be a friend and a vital influence on MO's music and career.

I really enjoyed David Bedford's works and I will miss him dearly. I discovered his music in 74' and turned into a David Bedford fanatic. His death was a shock to me and I've been listening to this new release of The Odyssey Live everyday. Instructions For Angels, The Odyssey, Star's End...he was a great composer and I will miss him. David Bedford RIP.
