Jack Russell, a singer who was formerly the lead singer of the Los Angeles rock band Great White, died on Thursday at the age of 63.
Rolling Stone noted that Russell’s death was associated with a lot of system atrophy and Lewy body dementia.
Fellow rock artists and fans across the world mourn the death of Russell, who fought these debilitating conditions until the end.
The Rock band, through their statement, announced his death, as shared on social media on Friday.
“Our deepest condolences to the family of Jack Russell,” the band’s statement read. “We hope they take comfort in knowing Jack’s incredible voice will live on forever.
“His love for the fans and his sons went unmatched, as was his own love for rock music,” the band said about the late crooner.
“It was a privilege and joy to share the stage with him – many shows, many miles, and maximum rock,” the statement continued. “In the studio, Jack was amazing. He always came ready to work. And work hard, he did. Jack stayed until he got the best performance for each song.”
“He brought the same excellence to every show. The consistency of his live performances were always beyond comparison. Rest in peace to one of rock’s biggest champions,” the band added.
Despite that, the Los Angeles rock band Great formed in 1996.
