Outpouring of tribute for late Quiet Riot singer

There has been an outpouring of support for late Quiet Riot singer Kevin DuBrow, who was found dead on November 25th at his Las Vegas home. Foul play has been ruled out, with police calling the death "accidental." According to Blabbermouth.net, Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward issued a statement saying, "Sincere condolences to Kevin's family and friends. We shall make an announcement of his passing on our Christmas radio show on December 8th, and also dedicate the show, in part (as we sadly do far too often these days,) to Kevin's family. In January, during our metal show, we'll play two Quiet Riot songs as an acknowledgement to Kevin's work. His voice was like no other -- an original artist aligned to passion, mayhem and verse."

Meanwhile, DuBrow's fiancee Lori Lee Samson has released a statement about the 52-year-old singer. She was reportedly the last person to see him alive. After not hearing from him for days, she knew something had been wrong. Samson said in a statement, "I would like to share with all of you, who are also feeling this great loss, a few memories that I will forever cherish. Our relationship was a beautiful and very special one, who no one can ever replace or belittle. Our feelings were genuine, filled with love, respect and admiration for one another. Our last weeks together were filled with laughter, happiness and intimate moments." She added, "I share with all of you the sorrow you feel with the loss of such a wonderful, charming and loving man and talented musician. He will be greatly missed and my heart reaches out to those who will also miss him and his smile."

DuBrow rose to fame in 1983 with Quiet Riot's chart-topping album Metal Health and smash single "Cum On Feel The Noize."

A funeral service for DuBrow was held yesterday (December 2nd) in Corona del Mar, California, where DuBrow was buried next to his father.
