Description
Bernie Marsden, a British blues-rock legend and former guitarist with Whitesnake, has died at 72.
Marsden's agent Alec Leslie confirmed the news to USA TODAY Friday. A statement on the musician's official website from his family stated Marsden "died peacefully on Thursday evening with his wife, Fran, and daughters, Charlotte and Olivia, by his side. Bernie never lost his passion for music, writing and recording new songs until the end."
Marsden was with the British rock bands UFO and Paice, Ashton & Lord before joining the newly formed Whitesnake in 1978. With the group until 1982, Marsden co-wrote some of the band's biggest hits including "Fool for Your Loving," the power ballad "Here I Go Again," with lead singer David Coverdale. In a 2012 Rolling Stone reader's poll, the song ranked No. 9 of the Top 10 best hair-metal songs of all time.
