British heavy metal collective Samson have revealed sad news that former vocalist Nicky Moore has died at the age 75 after battling Parkinson's Disease. Moore joined as lead singer in 1981, left the band in the late 1980s, and rejoined in the late 1990s.

Statement from official Moore's Facebook page:

"It is with immense sadness and almost unbearably heavy hearts that we have to let you all know that Nicky - a man larger than life in body and spirit - has sadly passed away this morning," a statement reads. "A man that lived a thousand lifetimes in just one has decided he needed a rest. Rest well, dear friend. We will all miss you x."
