Jack Russell, Great White Vocalist and Founding Band Member, Dies at 63
Jack Russell, the founding frontman of the rock band Great White, died Thursday after struggling with Lewy body dementia. He was 63.
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. By 1982, Russell and Kendall hooked up with drummer Gary Holland and bassist Lorne Black, recording and releasing the “Out of the Night” on Niven’s independent label, Aegean. Performing at the Station nightclub, a fire erupted when the band’s pyrotechnic sparks ignited an unapproved foam soundproofing material affixed to the walls and ceiling around the stage.
