Great White Singer Jack Russell Dies
Former Great White singer Jack Russell died on August 15th at the age of 63.
Earlier this year, Russell issued the following statement: “”After a recent diagnosis of Lewy body dementia (LBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) in May 2024, I am unable to perform at the level I desire and at the level you deserve. Words cannot express my gratitude for the many years of memories, love and support.”
Great White was known for the single “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” and the platinum albums “Once Bitten” (’87) and “Twice Shy” (’89).
Russell was performing with his version of Great White (Jack Russell’s Great White) when a pyrotechnics display sparked a nightclub fire that killed 100 people at a ’03 concert in Rhode Island.
