Steve Grimmett, the frontman of British heavy metal band Grim Reaper known for his piercing head voice, has been called by THE Grim Reaper. He was 62.

The news was confirmed by his son Russ Grimmett on Facebook: “We can’t begin to put into words the current feelings. But as dad was so well known the news is starting to reach out earlier than we would have liked. Unfortunately, our dad passed away today and leaves a massive hole in the world and our hearts.” No cause of death was given.

Part of the new wave of British heavy metal, Grim Reaper formed in Worcestershire in 1979 and Grimmett joined in 1982, replacing Paul de Mercado on vocals. Grimmett cited Elton John as an unlikely inspiration and “the reason I sing”, he told the Cosmick View. He also referenced David Coverdale, Dio and Judas Priest’s Rob Halford as influences.
