The 80’s will forever be one of the great decades of music because of hit songs like ‘Jeopardy’ and ‘Once Bitten Twice Shy’. Those hits were on the radio then and have become ‘Classic Hits’. Unfortunately we’ve learned that Jack Russel, Great White’s lead singer, has died at 63. He had been dealing with Lewey Body Dementia. The band posted this announcement:

And the band that gave us two memorable hits, ‘The Breakup Song’ and ‘Jeopardy’ has reported that their lead singer, Greg Kihn has also passed this week. Kihn was 75 and had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The singer, guitarist and songwriter would later inspire Weird Al to do a parody of his hit, ‘Jeopardy’, turning it into ‘I Lost On Jeopardy’. Kihn even appeared in Al’s music video and gave props to him for his take on the classic hit.
