yes he was. actually his opera "Die Zauberflöte" ("The Magic Flute") is all about freemasonry, right from the very first notes of the overture.

Joseph Haydn was a mason as well, in the same lodge as Mozart

His dad, Cyril Wakeman, was a businessman in London. I dare say he got into it through family connections.

Pete Townshend was shocked when Freemasons turned up at John Entwistle's funeral as it turned out John had been a Freemason for ages without any of the other band knowing.
Also Chas Smyth, the songwriter and dancer for Madness has been reported to being a Freemason.

Did not know that about Rick Wakeman though! So that's why he's the BBC go to guy for presenting documentaries about 70's music!
