VOIVOD - Denis "Piggy" D'Amour Passes Away - 05.08.27 10:50:34]
According to VOIVOD vocalist Denis "Snake" Belanger:
"Yesterday, Friday 26th at 23:45, Piggy passed away.
I would like to thank all of you for all the good words and encouragements you gave Denis during his battle.
I will keep you posted for funeral details."
Former Voivod bassist Jean-Yves (Blacky) Theriault has issued the following statement:
"Life does not always turn out the way you expect. Mine and the lives of many of my friends from Jonquiere were certainly influenced by one specific person, Denis D'Amour. He was a mentor and a hero for many of us. He was my best friend.
I have dreaded the arrival of this day for a while now. My old bandmate is gone. He passed away last night at peace with himself and without pain. Until the very end he was both a sweetheart and a real rocker, without compromise.
I am so grateful that I had the chance to let him know how much he meant to me and how much I loved him. Denis did not live to see his last artistic effort released but the rest of us will appreciate it all the more.
Long live Denis D'Amour. Long live Piggy."
As previously reported, Voivod guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour had been battling advanced colon cancer which spread to his liver. Denis was 45 years old.
BW&BK sends their condolences to the remaining Voivod members, the D'Amour family as well as all of Piggy's friends and fans worldwide.

Voi jeesus mitä paskaa!!!
ja raskaasti! Voivod oli ja on vieläkin yx omaperäsimmistä metal-bändeistä ikinä, siis todellinen kulttibändi.Tuskin jatkavat enää, ei Voivod ole Voivod ilman Piggyn kieroutunutta kitarointia. No, 3 dvd:tä ja uus levykin vielä ens vuonna tulossa kuitenkin, pakko ostaa kaikki. The cult lives!
