Quiet Riot bandmates Rudy Garni (bass) and Frankie Banali (drums) have confirmed the passing of singer Kevin DuBrow, age 52, in Las Vegas, Nevada. MTV reports that Chavis Records, QR’s latest label, has also confirmed the death, noting:

“DuBrow’s body was found by friends on Sunday, November 25, in his Las Vegas home,” reads the label’s site. “As I mourn his death with a heavy heart, I will remember hearing his voice and the music for the very first time on the radio back in 1983. I will remember all the great music Kevin and Quiet Riot gave to so many of us over the years and I will say, ‘Thank you, Kevin. May you rest in peace.’”

DuBrow’s bandmates have requested both privacy during their mourning, and dignity for the dead as speculation reportedly abounds regarding the cause of death.

Ain’t so crazee now, I guess. Raise a glass, rip a bong, and turn it up one last time.
