VOIVOD - R.I.P. "Piggy"

Nur wenige Stunden nachdem bekannt geworden ist, dass VOIVOD-Gitarrist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour an einer schweren Krankheit leidet, ist der 45-jährige Kanadier in der Nacht von Donnerstag auf Freitag in ein tiefes Koma gefallen und nicht mal einen Tag später an den Folgen seines Krebsleidens gestorben.

Die Metal-Szene verliert damit dieser Tage nach dem ehemaligen VADER-Drummer 'Doc' eine weitere Persönlichkeit.

Von Seiten der Redaktion bekunden wir den Angehörigen in diesen schweren Stunden unser herzlichstes Beileid.

A few hours after the anouncement that VOIVOD guitarist Denis D'Amour aka Piggy sufferes from a severe illness, the 46-year old canadien died in the night of Thursday to Friday after he fell in a deep coma, due to his cancer.

The metal scene looses, after the death of VADER drummer "Doc" once again another personality

Our feelings go to the direct family and friends.

This is a rough translation. The news happened a few days ago, but no one had opened a thread in this part of the forum. So I thought I'd open one.

The 2nd loss in a week time.

R.I.P.

Yeah, that's a bummer. I loved his sound. I'm glad I never missed a show since Spring of 88 (and I tried damn hard ) that they played here.
