John Mann, charismatic lead singer and songwriter of Canadian band, Spirit of the West, died yesterday in Vancouver, BC, of early onset Alzheimer’s Disease. He was 57. Obit from the Globe and Mail: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/article-spirit-of-the-west-singer-john-mann-dies-at-57/ A lot of great songs came from John Mann, and the music he and Spirit of the West made really illustrated what an apt name they had chosen. There was just something about it that evoked the West Coast of Canada. Condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.
