NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Dan McCafferty has died aged 76, his former Nazareth bandmate Pete Agnew has confirmed.
The Scottish singer had been the front man of the hard rock band from its start in 1968 until 2013, when he retired from touring due to ill health.
Agnew had shared the news of McCafferty’s death on the band’s official Facebook page, telling fans: ‘Dan died at 12:40 today.
‘This is the saddest announcement I ever had to make. Maryann and the family have lost a wonderful loving husband and father, I have lost my best friend, and the world has lost one of the greatest singers who ever lived. Too upset to say anything more at this time.’
