Quiet Riot lead singer found dead
Kevin Dubrow found in Vegas home; band rose to fame in early 1980s
LOS ANGELES - Kevin DuBrow, lead singer of the popular 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has been found dead from unknown causes at his home in Las Vegas, authorities said on Monday.

DuBrow, 52, was found dead at about 5:20 p.m. on Sunday, a spokeswoman for the Clark County Coroner’s Office said. She said an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death.

“I can’t even find the words to say,” Quiet Riot bandmate Frankie Banali said on his Web site. “Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow.”

Quiet Riot, which was founded in the mid-1970s, topped the Billboard charts in 1983 with the album “Metal Health,” spurred on by the massive hit single “Cum on Feel the Noize.”

The band has since endured break-ups and personnel changes but released a new album in 2006 and continued to tour sporadically.

Not exactly the best band in the world by a long shot, but they helped to get heavy metal a lot of attention in the 80's. Sad to see an icon like this die. Will be interesting to see what happened.

Not really a fan but "Come on feel the noise" was a song I always enjoyed hearing on V-Rock whenever I played GTA:VC.
