It was just last month that Russell announced he was retiring from touring after a recent diagnosis of Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy.
Great White is best known for hit 1980s songs like “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” and “The Angel Song.”
The band is also known for the 2003 Rhode Island nightclub fire. The band was performing when pyrotechnics caught the building on fire. Great White’s guitarist Ty Longley died along with 100 others. Another 230 people were injured.
Great White released a statement on their Instagram page about the loss of Russell, saying band members would hold their years together in their hearts.
