Here’s what the Quiet Riot drummer had to say about the man who helped make metal mainstream in the ’80s:
I’m at a loss for words. I’ve just lost my best friend….Out of respect for both Kevin and his family, I won’t comment further. There’s going to be a lot of speculation out there, and I won’t add to that. I love him too much.
Very sweet.
