POISON Drummer: 'Let's Remember The Colossal Contributions That KEVIN DUBROW Made'

November 26, 2007

POISON drummer Rikki Rockett has released the following statement regarding the passing of QUIET RIOT singer Kevin DuBrow:

"I have known Kevin DuBrow for close to 20 years or so. QUIET RIOT put metal on the radio in the early '80s in spite of the vanilla new wave surge of DURAN DURAN clones at the time. However he died or why, let's just remember the colossal contributions that he made. Rest in peace, my brother."

According to The Associated Press, a neighbor summoned police and paramedics Sunday (November 25) to the Las Vegas home where the 52-year-old Dubrow was pronounced dead at 5:20 p.m., police and coroner's officials said.

There was no forced entry at the house, and no suspicious circumstances were reported, police Officer Jose Montoya said.

The cause and manner of death were not immediately known, pending an autopsy and toxicology results, Clark County coroner's spokeswoman Samantha Charles said.
