Riot Legend Succumbs to Cancer

Original vocalist Guy Speranza of the Brooklyn, NY based metal band Riot passed away in a Florida hospital due to pancreatic cancer.

Speranza was with the band from the beginning, and can be heard on 3 of the band's albums: Rock City (1977), Narita (1979), and the classic Fire Down Under (1981). Speranza was only 47 years old.

We extend our condolences to Speranza's family and friends.
