Allen Lanier (born June 25, 1946) is a member of Blue Öyster Cult. Lanier plays keyboards and rhythm guitar. He currently resides in Manhattan.
Lanier wrote several songs for Blue Öyster Cult albums, including "True Confessions", "Tenderloin", "Searchin' for Celine", "In Thee" and "Lonely Teardrops". He was a onetime romantic partner of Patti Smith.
Lanier first performed with the band (then known as Soft White Underbelly) in 1967. He left the group in 1985, and was replaced by Tommy Zvoncheck (of Clarence Clemons and Public Image Ltd fame).[1] He returned in 1987. He has not performed with them since the fall of 2006.
Without any official announcement from the Blue Oyster Cult, band's the line-up photograph has been updated to remove Allen, and a brief mention on the page for Richie Castellano has the following to say: "Since the retirement of Allen Lanier, Richie has switched over to the guitars/keyboards position, both of which he's quite the master!"[2], which would seem to indicate that Allen Lanier has retired from both Blue Oyster Cult and music, at some point between 2006 and 2009.
