, whose rousing drinking song “Home For a Rest” has been a party anthem since 1990, died today at home in Vancouver from early-onset Alzheimer’s. He was 57.
“His career spanned nearly 40 years and included multiple film roles, numerous star turns in theatre, and fame as lead singer and spell-binding front-person of Canadian musical group Spirit of the West,’ it continued. “John was a man of uncommon courage, was a loyal and beloved friend, a gentleman of great social conscience, and a soul brimming with creativity and enthusiasm.
The music community and Spirit of the West fans, who also helped make hits out of singles “Venice Is Sinking,” “Save This House,” and “Political,” rallied and helped raise money for his continuing care, including an experimental stem cell procedure in Mexico in 2016. Bob Hallett, also formerly of Great Big Sea, wrote: “John Mann was the smartest musician I ever met, a wonderful storyteller, a superb and fearless performer, a volcano of energy, and a great friend. I'll miss him, and so should you.”
