Survivor has announced that they are cancelling their October and November dates in the wake of the passing of lead singer Jimi Jamison.
Dave Bickler, who sang lead on Eye of the Tiger and was co-lead singer for the group on the tour, said “We are devastated by this loss, we trust that our fans will understand our wanting to take some time to mourn and remember our brother.”
Frankie Sullivan added “I called him ‘Golden Throat’ and for good reason. Jim Jamison had a voice we will never forget. It was massive and huge and yet sweet and gentle. He was a loving soul and a brother to me in many ways. I will miss him greatly.”
Billy Ozello, who plays bass for the band, said “It was an honor to share the stage with such a great talent and Jimi was one of the best vocalist in the business. Even though he’s gone, he will continue to be with us in spirit.”
Survivor’s management will work with the various venues to reschedule the shows for a later date.
