Sad news to report, as vocalist David VanLanding died on Nov. 17. The Michael Schenker Group singer lost his life in a car crash after colliding with a garbage truck in Clearwater, Fla.
VanLanding was the vocalist in the Michael Schenker Group in the late ’90s and again in 2011 and 2012, and he also performed with Crimson Glory. VanLanding called his 2012 trek with Michael Schenker Group “one of the most rewarding tours of my career.” VanLanding had recently posted that he was going to rejoin Schenker on the Axes & Anchors Cruise in January and was planning to offer a vocal clinic on the cruise, as well.

RIP. I'll need to check out some of his songs with Schenker, because I've always been a Michael Schenker fan since my teens.
