John Helliwell was born in Todmorden, Yorkshire, England on February 15 , 1945 . As a child, he sang in a church choir and took up piano(which would come in handy once he joined Supertramp as he would play additional keyboards in live performance from 1974 to 1987). Then he took up the Clarinet at age 13 and then the Saxophone at 15. John played in various bands before joining Supertramp unofficially after winning the band over with his humor and humble personality in 1973 and has remained with Supertramp ever since as his saxophone solos would become a Supertramp trademark. When not performing with Supertramp, he is performing with his own band, "John Helliwell's Crème Anglaise. He is happily married to wife Christine since 1975 and has two sons. |
