\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jack Flanagan, manager of GWAR has issued an official statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It is with a saddened heart, that I confirm my dear friend Dave Brockie, artist, musician, and lead singer of GWAR passed away at approximately 6:50 PM EST Sunday March 23,2014.\u00a0 His body was found Sunday by his band mate at his home in Richmond, VA. Richmond authorities have confirmed his death and next of kin has been notified.\u00a0 \u00a0A full autopsy will be performed.\u00a0 He was 50 years old, born August 30, 1963.<\/p>\n

My main focus right now is to look after my band mates and his family. More information regarding his death shall be released as the details are confirmed.”<\/p>\n
