WARREL DANE Memorial Event To Be Streamed Live

January 5, 2018

A memorial for acclaimed heavy metal singer Warrel Dane, who achieved fame with the bands SANCTUARY and NEVERMORE, will be held this Sunday, January 7 at Studio Seven in Seattle, Washington.

The event will be filmed and live videostreamed worldwide by TopLeft TV at www.toplefttv.live beginning at 4 p.m. PST.

The TopLeft TV crew will be there to broadcast the service live as well as to capture memories being shared after the broadcast.

Dane died on December 13 in São Paulo, Brazil at the age of 56. The American musician reportedly had a heart attack during the night and could not be revived.

According to guitarist Johnny Moraes, who played in Warrel's solo band, Dane had a history of addiction and other health issues. "His health was already very weak because of his diabetes and his problems with alcoholism," he said.

The instrumental parts for Dane's follow-up to 2008's "Praises To The War Machine" solo album were almost completed and he had begun laying down his vocals shortly before his death.

NEVERMORE effectively split up in 2011 when guitarist Jeff Loomis and drummer Van Williams announced their departure from the band due to personal differences with Dane and bassist Jim Sheppard. Warrel later described NEVERMORE in an interview as "the greatest band that alcohol ever ruined."

SANCTUARY, which reformed in 2010 after an 18-year break, has spent recent years touring in support of its comeback album, 2014's "The Year The Sun Died", as well as 2016's "Inception", an album comprised of presumed lost 1986 studio recordings.
