After Rik left Triumph in very late 80's, he had 3 solo pop albums that did quite well (although no where near the sucess as with Triumph). He then started working on more blues and classical based guitar centered works. Last year he met up with Mike Shotton (drummer) to create a band called Airtime and put out a long awaited rock / hard rock album. He was also inducted into the Canadian Rock and Roll hall of fame with the other two Triumph members (Gil Moore and Mike Lavine). He reuinted with Triumph last summer to do one rock festivel in Sweden and one in the southren US. He said they may do a summer tour as Triumph in 2009.
And yes, very humble. I saw him play in a hockey arena in Lucan Ontario infront of about 30 people, not kidding, 30 people. I was expecting him to do a ho hum show due to the poor tournout. However, out of the 11 or so times I have seen him, that was probably one of the best shows he ever put on. So yes, humble is a great word to describe him.
