The American vocalist & Co-writer Alan Merrill has died after contracting coronavirus. His daughter Laura shared the news, said that he had been healthy enough to play shows a few weeks ago.
Laura said, “I’ve been trying to sleep but I can’t. I woke up normally yesterday with the world at my feet and now today I lay here empty. I’ve always been very open here on social media because I believe sharing your experiences both good and bad can be healing, not just to myself but others.”
“The Coronavirus took my father this morning,” She continued, “I was given 2 minutes to say my goodbyes before I was rushed out. He seemed peaceful and as I left there was still a glimmer of hope that he wouldn’t be a ticker on the right-hand side of the CNN/Fox news screen.”
