GNU_Linux Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) Grim Reaper vocalist Steve Grimmet gets to meet the namesake at 62 Steve Grimmett, the frontman of British heavy metal band Grim Reaper known for his piercing head voice, has died aged 62. The news was confirmed by his son Russ Grimmett on Facebook: “We can’t begin to put into words the current feelings. But as dad was so well known the news is starting to reach out earlier than we would have liked. Unfortunately, our dad passed away today and leaves a massive hole in the world and our hearts.” No cause of death was given. Part of the new wave of British heavy metal, Grim Reaper formed in Worcestershire in 1979 and Grimmett joined in 1982, replacing Paul de Mercado on vocals. Grimmett cited Elton John as an unlikely inspiration and “the reason I sing”, he told the Cosmick View. He also referenced David Coverdale, Dio and Judas Priest’s Rob Halford as influences. Grimmett would become the only constant member of the band during their two stints together, until 1988 and then again from 2006 to the present day. They released their debut album, See You in Hell, in 1983 via RCA. It reached No 73 in the US Billboard album chart. The group thrived until legal battles with their record label delayed their third album for almost two years, by which time their melodic sound had been usurped commercially by thrash and speed metal. It led to the abandonment of a fourth album and the band’s first disbandment. “The legal stuff hit us while we were writing that album and we just lost faith,” Grimmett said. During this period, Grimmett would front the groups Onslaught and Lionsheart, and Grim Reaper would find their music being lovingly mocked on episodes of the MTV animation Beavis and Butt-Head. They reunited in 2006 in response to demand to perform at festivals and tour. In 2016 the band – now known as Steve Grimmett’s Grim Reaper – released their first new studio album in decades, Walking in the Shadows. In January 2017, Grimmett was hospitalised during a show in Ecuador for an infection in his right leg. Surgery led to a partial amputation. He began to walk again with a prosthetic leg, and the group continued to tour. “I laid in a hospital bed for seven weeks with no entertainment and just half an hour of internet per day,” Grimmett said. “Half that time I spent … talking to my family, and the other 15 minutes a day looking at how the hell I could get back up on that stage to do what I do for the fans. It drove me mad that I just didn’t have more time than that, but that was the driving force that kept me going.” They released another album, At the Gates, in 2019. “It’s about me very nearly dying when I lost my leg in Ecuador,” Grimmett told Metal Temple. He said he had been suffering with PTSD and depression. In January 2022, Grimmett said that the band were working on new material. In a May 2022 interview, Grimmett said he had no regrets “whatsoever” despite being penniless. I’m on welfare at the moment because of Covid, and a lot of people do think that I am a millionaire, but I can tell you now, I’m not. I’ve never received a penny – not one penny – from Grim Reaper, so that says it all, doesn’t it? But still, no regrets. I still love getting up there and playing. I still love watching the smiling faces in front of me. That says it all and does it all for me.” Edited August 19, 2022 by GNU_Linux 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Week 34 update One death this week, the footballer Lenny Johnrose: Lenny Johnrose dead aged 52: Ex-Burnley ace passes away five years after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease | The Sun Quote LENNY JOHNROSE has tragically passed away at the age of 52 five years after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. The former defensive midfielder enjoyed a 16-year football career after coming through the ranks at Blackburn. He had his longest spell at Bury between 1993 and 1999 and had an instrumental year at Swansea - and is still adored by Swans fans. His goal on the final day of the 2002-03 season against Hull was enough to secure the club's safety in the Football League and provided the springboard for their ventures into the Premier League. After his playing career ended in 2004, Johnrose retrained and moved into primary school teaching in the north-west. In 2017, he received the motor neurone disease diagnosis and a charity match was held the following year between Swansea and Burnley legends which ended 10-7. I've seen a documentary or something about that Swansea season. Maybe it was Football Focus. Anyway, here's video. I'm a big fan of the mascot running out with the players, big floppy swan neck bobbing about: It seems as if there have been a lot of MND diagnoses in sportsmen lately. I don't really have anything else to add besides I hope it never happens to me or anyone I know. Johnrose was 52 when he died so he's worth 73 Base Points for @Aim Here, @Ned Nederlander, @sparky88 and @speckled tangerine, with Aim Here getting a Captain bonus for 146 points.
