QUIET RIOT Singer Died Of Cocaine
Overdose
The Associated Press reports that the death last month of Kevin
Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band QUIET RIOT, has
been ruled an accidental cocaine overdose.
Clark County coroner spokeswoman Samantha Charles confirmed the
cause Monday (December 10) after toxicology results were
received.
Dubrow was found dead Nov. 25 at his Las Vegas home. He was
52.
QUIET RIOT was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of "Cum on
Feel the Noize". The song, featuring Dubrow's powerful, gravelly
voice, appeared on the band's album "Metal Health" which was the
first by a metal band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart.
DuBrow recorded a solo album in 2004, "In for the Kill", and the
band's last studio CD, "Rehab", came out in October 2006.
