Warrel Dane, the lead singer of Sanctuary and Nevermore, has passed away at the age of only 56 after suffering a heart attack during the night. Guitarist Johnny Moraes, who was a member of Dane’s solo band, was with the singer around midnight when Warrel started to feel bad.

Moraes stated: ‘He died in the night. He had a heart attack. He was in the apartment where he stayed during the recording of the album when it happened. I gave him cardiac massage and we called the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU), who came very fast, but when they arrived, he was already dead.’
