McDonald also performed as a session saxist on T. Rex’s classic 1971 album, Electric Warrior, lending his talents to the hit single Bang a Gong (Get it On).

He then brought his multi-instrumental skills to the British-American band Foreigner, which he founded with guitarist Mick Jones and singer Lou Gramm in New York in 1976. McDonald played on all of the band’s biggest early hits — including FM staples like “Feels Like the First Time,” “Head Games,” Hot Blooded,” “Double Vision,” and “Head Games.” He also co-produced the group’s first three albums, 1977’s Foreigner, 1978’s Double Vision, and 1979’s Head Games.  8)

Yeah, I was wondering if he'd been associated with the band T-Rex.

R.I.P. to Ian :\'(
