Quiet Riot lead singer Kevin Dubrow, 52, was found dead yesterday by friends in his Las Vegas home. The cause of death is unknown at the time of this posting. Fellow bandmate Frankie Banali posted a short statement on www.frankie-banali.com asking that friends and fans "respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend Kevin DuBrow." A lot of us will remember that Quiet Riot's 1983 album Metal Health was the first metal album to hit number one on the Billboard Charts paving the way for other metal bands to break into the mainstream of America.
Warped Tour screamo vets Hawthorne Heights lost their guitarist Casey Calvert last Saturday. The 26 year-old was found dead on the band's tourbus before a Washington D.C. gig soundcheck. The cause of death is unknown. Via the band's website, HH asks that we respect the memory of Casey by not perpetuating any gossip related to his passing.
