Nevermore frontman Warrel Dane passed away at the age of 56 years old some days ago after having a heart attack. Dane was in São Paulo, Brazil recording the follow-up to his 2008 solo album Praises To The War Machine. According to Dane’s guitarist Johnny Moraes in an interview with Brazil’s UOL, Dane died overnight from a heart attack and could not be revived: “He died in the night. He was in the apartment where he stayed during the recording of the album when it happened. I gave him cardiac massage and we called the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU), who came very fast, but when they arrived, he was already dead.”
A crowdfunding campaign has been recently launched to help his family with his final expenses. These expenses include getting Dane back to Seattle and services, as well as a public memorial service. The public service will be held on January 7 at Studio Seven, 110 S. Horton Street, in Seattle. You can contribute to the campaign by visiting this location.
