Las Vegas Metro Police have confirmed to TMZ that 52-year-old Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for 80's metal band Quiet Riot, was found dead in his Las Vegas home.

We're told one of Dubrow's neighbors found the singer Sunday around 5:20 PM. The Clark County Coroner confirms to TMZ that they are currently examining Dubrow's body to try to determine the cause of death.

Fellow band member Frankie Banali posted this message on his website: "I can't even find words to say. Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow."

Quiet Riot was the first metal band to top the Billboard charts and are perhaps best known for their cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize"

I remember he used to wear this bad, long, curley wig for interviews after QR wasn't what they once were.

RIP

Probably drugs...from Vh-1's behind the music

A look at the first metal band to release a #1 US album. Entitled Metal Health (1982), the album sold roughly 7 million copies-- the high point of Quiet Riot's success. The band discusses their many band member changes, the tragic plane crash death of original guitarist Randy Rhodes, lead singer Kevin Dubrow's drug addiction, the band's break-up and their ultimate reunion in 1997. Includes interviews with Quiet Riot members Kevin Debrow (vocals), Carlos Cavozo (guitar), Rudy Sarzo (bass), Frankie Banali (drums), and producer Spencer Proffer.



I forgot Randy Rhodes was their original guitarist

Didn't that Randy Rhodes also play with Ozzy Osborne? And didn't Sharon have an affair with him?

Okay Shelly, but do they really think he died of some kind of head trauma? Or was that just a tacky, hilarious joke?

I saw them in Amarillo TX in the 80's. I was in the first row. I was so small I had to stand in a chair just to get my eyes above the stage to see.

They did a show at Sneakers back in the '90's that was one of the coolest concerts I've ever been to.

R.I.P. Kevin.

I don't see how people can have an "accidental" coke overdose unless they bought coke that was cut with something you're not supposed to snort into your brain. I had a non-fatal coke overdose and you definitely know when you go from "high" to "sick".

But rock stars are probably getting really potent stuff, so I can see them overdosing on it... but you definitely know when it doesn't feel good anymore, so what I don't see is how you would keep doing it. Oh well, Quiet Riot was pretty bad ass. Sucks that this happened to Kevin.
