A.D. Amorosi Jack Russell, the raw silken co-founding lead vocalist of the glam metal band, Great White, died on Thursday at the age of 63.
His death was confirmed on the musician’s social media. In July, the singer had shared a statement regarding his struggles with Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy. “I am unable to perform at the level I desire and at the level you deserve,” Russell wrote on Instagram on July 17. “Words cannot express my gratitude for the many years of memories, love and support.
Thank you for letting me live my dreams. You have made my life a wonder.” That life of wonder had highs such as Great White’s Ian Hunter-penned hit single “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” and several platinum albums throughout the hair metal 1980s.
Russell and his band also were at the center of great tragedy too when, in 2003, their pyrotechnics-filled show at the small Station nightclub in Rhode Island set fire to the venue, killing 100 people and injuring 230 others.
