RIP Jimi Jamison

[Nightrain]

I read somewhere in the net that this wonderful singer passed away, hope it's not a hoax

rest in peace sir, sad news indeed and thank you for the great music and bringing the best album of 2012

[The Rocker]

Just heard it also. I think it really happened. Very sad.

Shocked and saddened. I saw him live with Survivor back in 2012. Great performer and a hell of a vocalist.

Here is an article from the Rolling Stone that was posted in a Facebook group :

Very sad news indeed, he was one of the best singers around. R.I.P. Jimi

Shitty news indeed. I was just playing some JJ demos the other day. What an absolute shame. A true legend. RIP JJ.

[Jez]

Really shocked and saddened by this when I woke up this morning. One of AOR's finest vocalists. RIP Jimi.

[Wotty]

Shocked...........

Got an email about it overnight. Damn.

 

Sadly, I'm afraid we will be seeing all to many of these as our icons get older.

[Thomas/Coastline]

Fantastic singer, what a tragic loss. Way too early.

[Glen]

There's been a lot of good guys pass away over the last few years but this one really affected me - probably more than any since RJD.

 

A true legend of AOR / melodic rock.

 

RIP.

 

Sad day.

Very sad, I've had some of his songs swirling through my head today. One of the best AOR singers.

Yeah if that's true, shame a guy that old still do meth, not sure what makes him frustrated, probably financial issue ?

I wasn't on the forum when this all happened but did see the news on a random Facebook email I got. Bit of a shock, to be honest. Very sad news. Sad that perhaps some of his own silly behaviour led to his demise, but yeah, way too early for a guy that was still recording good music. Thanks for the tunes; R.I.P.
