Various Online Reports Indicate GWAR Frontman Dave Brockie Was Found Dead

In an online report from U.K. publication Metal Hammer, GWAR frontman Dave Brockie a/k/a Oderus Urungus was found dead by room mates. The circumstances surrounding his death still remains a mystery.

According to the report - Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe was said to comment: "Got a very sad call tonight from my buddy Chris Bopst, who was one of the original members of GWAR- my friend Dave Brockie, AKA Oderus Urungus, the singer of GWAR, has left the building & taken off back to his home planet. He was 50 years old. I do not know details of why he died yet, just that he passed away at home & his roommates found him."

In addition, the article also indicated that former bassist Mike Bishop reportedly made the following comment to Style Weekly: "Dave was one of the funniest, smartest, most creative and energetic people I've known. He was brash sometimes, always crass, irreverent – hilarious in every way. But he was also deeply intelligent and interested in life, history, politics, and art.

"His penchant for scatological humour belied a lucid wit. He was a criminally underrated lyricist and hard rock vocalist. A great front man, a great painter, writer, he was also a hell of a bass guitarist. I loved him. He was capable of great empathy and had a real sense of justice."

Currently, there has been no official confirmation from the band nor label Metal Blade Records. The story is breaking, so we anticipate confirmation one way or another soon. The report from Style Weekly can be found at this location.
