Former LACUNA COIL Guitarist CLAUDIO LEO Dies

January 17, 2013

According to Italy's Soundsblog.it, CAYNE/ex-LACUNA COIL guitarist Claudio Leo died this morning after struggling with an undisclosed "serious disease." The exact cause of death has not yet been revealed.

A message at Cayne's Facebook page simply states: "Goodbye Claudio. Rest in peace, brother."

LACUNA COIL vocalist Cristina Scabbia said in an online posting: "It's with deep sadness that I inform you all that our dear friend and ex-guitar player Claudio Leo left us. My deepest condolences to his family, close friends and the band CAYNE. You will always be remembered for your strength and positivity. We love you, Claudio."

Claudio played with LACUNA COIL from 1994 to 1998 and appeared on the band's demo tape when they were still called ETHEREAL and the 1998 self-titled EP.

Leo was a founding member of gothic rock act CAYNE, which will release its self-titled sophomore album on February 14.
