The former Skid Row singer “Johnny Solinger,” who fronted the metal band for 15 years, died at the age of 55.
Solinger revealed in May that he had been hospitalised for the previous month because of liver failure.
Solinger died on Saturday, according to his old bandmates.
Skid Row signed Solinger three years after “classic era” lead singer Sebastian Bach quit the band in 1996. Solinger sang on the band’s two most recent albums, 2003’s Thickskin and 2006’s Revolutions Per Minute. Solinger, the band’s longest-serving singer, also participated on the band’s first two United World Rebellion EPs before parting ways amicably with the band to pursue a solo career.
