  VOIVOD Guitarist Dead || 27.8.2005

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.

VOIVOD-Guitarplayer Denis "Piggy" D'Amour has died because of cancer. The Canadian was only 45 years old. It was made public that he has been suffering from this bad disease. Only a few hours after this was announced he fell into a deep coma. Less than a day later he died because of the consequences of his cancer.

In recent days, the metal-community has lost another great person after the Ex-VADER Drummer 'Doc'

I don't agree on that one man... there are a lot of great new bands out there. u really need to kinda open your eyes for new bands!!

and by the way: the rolling stones are still making music and they're "a bit" older than metallica
