C.J. Snare, Frontman of Firehouse, Dies at 64

Firehouse's C.J. Snare has died. The band is known for power ballads "Love of a Lifetime" and "When I Look Into Your Eyes," both Hot 100 top 10 hits.

“It is with great sorrow we are letting the world know we have lost our brother: CJ Snare, the rock and roll warrior, lead vocalist, and a founding member of Firehouse.” The statement says the singer — who was expected to return to touring this summer, following recovery from abdominal surgery Snare in September said was planned — “passed unexpectedly” at his home Friday night (April 5). “We are all in complete shock with CJ’s untimely passing,” the group wrote on Saturday, highlighting Snare’s vocal talent and noting he’d been on the road with FireHouse “non-stop the past 34 years.”
