quiet riot

Not everybody can be U2.

Banali wanted the band to keep going.

Former Quiet Riot bassist visited his old friend in the hospital during the last hours before cancer took drummer's life.

Read an official statement from the band.

Quiet Riot drummer planned his own event, but COVID-19 prevents wishes from being fulfilled.

Members of Kiss, Motorhead, Guns N' Roses and more took to social media to honor the drummer.

RIP.

Drummer spent 39 years in the chart-topping metal band.

The drummer checked in after a three week hospital stay.

Drummer spent three weeks in hospital, but is rehabbing at home.

Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot will still perform at July 4 event.

Performance will go ahead, even as drummer Frankie Banali battles cancer.
