whiplash1972 Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 From Mitch Lafon's Facebook page: April Wine’s Legendary Singer-Songwriter Myles Goodwyn Passes Away At Age 75 Myles Goodwyn, singer, guitarist, writer, producer and leader of the multi-Platinum selling rock band April Wine, who shaped and directed the group from its earliest beginnings, has died today at the age of 75 at Noon Atlantic Time. No further details on cause of death, location or funeral details will be disclosed at this time. The family asks for privacy. April Wine has sold over 10 million recordings worldwide. Myles Goodwyn’s voice is as distinctive and immediately recognizable as his song writing skills are prolific. Myles and the other members of April Wine were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame in 2010. Goodwyn received the prestigious East Coast Music Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 and the SOCAN National Achievement Award in 2002. In 2016 he released his memoir named, Just Between You and Me, which became an instant best seller on the Globe and Mail`s Non-Fiction List. His second book, Elvis and Tiger (fiction) was published in 2018 and was also very well received. The Myles Goodwyn and Friends Of The Blues recording released in 2018, it earned international acclaim and a JUNO nomination for Blues Recording of the Year in 2019. The recording won the ECMA award for Blues Recording of the Year in 2019. His follow up blues recording that year, Myles Goodwyn and Friends of the Blues 2, won the same blues category in 2020. Myles left the group for live performances earlier this year, and continued to perform live with his acoustic trio which includes himself, Jim Henman and Bruce Dixon until recently.

Doug Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 I just read about this, very sad. HUGE April Wine fan back in the day. I played the heck out of their “First Glance,” “Harder…Faster,” “Nature of the Beast” and “Power Play” albums. From ’78 to ’82, they could do no wrong.
