Jack Russell, Former Great White Singer, Dead at 63


Great White's Jack Russell died after revealing his Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy diagnosis.

“Jack is loved and remembered for his sense of humor, exceptional zest for life, and unshakeable contribution to rock and roll where his legacy will forever thrive,” read the statement. Although the cause of Russell’s death was not revealed, the singer announced in July that he would be stepping away from touring after being diagnosed with Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy, a rare neurodegenerative disorder. Great White was performing at the nightclub when a massive fire broke out after pyrotechnics set off by the band’s tour manager ignited flammable acoustic foam at the back of the stage.
