[情報] Former Threshold singer Andrew 'Mac' McDermott passes away

[ayuro (想看Jason Mraz...)]

這已經是幾天前的新聞了
但沒看人po過:(

真的是很難以相信，
今年的上帝太無聊了嗎？除了Mark Baker (Shadow Gallery)外，
另一世界頂尖的前衛金屬美聲主唱代表，聲線神似James LaBrie但更優質的
Andrew "Mac" McDermott也被抓去做伴了
命運真是作弄人阿，再也聽不到這樣響徹雲霄天籟般的聲音了....R.I.P
We will miss you Mac :(

Former Threshold singer Andrew 'Mac' McDermott passes away
04.08.2011

Andrew 'Mac' McDermott, the former lead singer of U.K. progressive metallers
THRESHOLD, reportedly passed away in England yesterday (Wednesday, August 3).

Threshold guitarist Karl Groom commented on his passing: "Mac played a large
part in the story of Threshold and appeared on 5 studio albums. He also sang
on numerous fan club releases and live albums. Although I have not seen him
since 2007 for the last video shoot in Leipzig, he still remains in our minds
and there is a big sense of loss. I have spoken to and seen ex members of the
band over the last two days who are all very saddened by this turn of events.
We remember Mac as being so vibrant and full of life, so find this news is
hard to accept."

McDermott had "serious health problems" in the months leading up to his death,
according to a June 2011 statement from the German melodic metal band
Powerworld, with whom he recorded the 2010 album Human Parasite.

McDermott performed in clubs in England and tried to establish a band there
in his early years before he moved to Germany to join the band Sargant Fury.
After three albums, the band dissolved and in 1998 McDermott joined Threshold
as lead singer until his departure from the band in 2007.

Threshold keyboard player Richard West echoed the sentiments of numerous fans
who left messages of condolence on Threshold's Facebook site. "Mac had such a
big personality and one of the world's greatest rock voices, it's so very sad
that we lost him so young. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and
loved ones".
