Dan McCafferty -- the original lead singer of Scottish hard rock band Nazareth -- has died, his band has confirmed.
“This is the saddest announcement I ever had to make,” band member Pete Agnew wrote in a statement posted to the band’s website, announcing McCafferty’s death on Tuesday. “Maryann and the family have lost a wonderful loving husband and father, I have lost my best friend and the world has lost one of the greatest singers who ever lived. “Too upset to say anything more at this time,” he added.
The band is best known for its cover of the ballad “Love Hurts,” which reached number 8 on Billboard’s Hot 100 list in March 1976, as well as the hit 1975 album “Hair of the Dog,” with which it established an international audience. By 2013, McCafferty was finding it tough to be on stage due to experiencing breathing difficulties after being diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
