R.I.P. Brett Walker…

Very sad news from Divebomb this week…

BRETT WALKER was born in Norman, Oklahoma on 11/14/61 and died suddenly at his home in Draper, Utah on July 8th.

“First shock and now saddened to find out that Brett Walker passed away a few days ago. I was really looking forward to finally meeting him in person at Melodic Rock Fest 3 in November. I only began chatting with him in 2011, but the stories he shared with me of his past were funny and quite amusing. Brett was a very cheerful and optimistic man (in regards to his new material) and it was a pleasure, more importantly an honor, working with him to help keep his musical legacy alive. My condolences to his family, friends and loved ones in their time of grieving. RIP. You will be missed, buddy.”

– Matthew Rudzinski, Divebomb Records

**BRETT WALKER‘s set at MRF3 will go on as planned with his band performing with different vocalists also in attendance as tribute to his work as a singer/songwriter.
