LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kevin DuBrow, lead singer of the popular 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has been found dead from unknown causes at his home in Las Vegas, authorities said on Monday.
DuBrow, 52, was found dead at about 5:20 p.m. on Sunday, a spokeswoman for the Clark County Coroner's Office said. She said an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death.
"I can't even find the words to say," Quiet Riot bandmate Frankie Banali said on his Web site. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow."
Quiet Riot, which was founded in the mid-1970s, topped the Billboard charts in 1983 with the album "Metal Health," spurred on by the massive hit single "Cum on Feel the Noize."
The band has since endured break-ups and personnel changes but released a new album in 2006 and continued to tour sporadically.

That's too bad.
I liked Quiet Riot back in the 80's, and remember doing a few of their songs with my band back then.
RIP Kevin.

Too bad. One thing about the band (Oddly enough) they were integral in spawning the 80's rush of hair metal bands. They were also semi-famous for being Randy Rhoads' pre-Ozzy Osbourne band. Dubrow was famous for being a loud mouth, but I did think he could sing metal pretty well.
It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!
wasn't a fan, but still it's sad. R.I.P.
