March 17, 2008

Terry Baker, who was in a band called SCORCHER with vocalist Daniel MacMaster before Daniel hooked up with Jason Bonham to form BONHAM, has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding MacMaster's passing:

"My name is Terry Baker. I have been friends with Dan since we were in SCORCHER together.

"Dan passed away from a staph infection; he had pneumonia and didnt realize he had a staph infection that got in his blood. By the time he got to hospital, it was too late.

"His family and friends are in shock.

"[Daniel was] certainly one of the greatest singers I ever worked with. He told me when I was teaching him guitar pre-BONHAM he was going to be famous and tour the world and within two years of singing, he was doing a world tour opening for THE CULT.

"No words can explain his talent and personality. Truly an amazing person.

"Love you, Dan."
