According to Pollstar, Jack Russell, the former GREAT WHITE singer, has announced his retirement from touring.
Russell said in a statement: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I must announce my retirement from the road. After a recent diagnosis of Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy in May 2024, I am unable to perform at the level I desire and at the level you deserve. Words cannot express my gratitude for the many years of memories, love and support. Thank you for letting me live my dreams.”
Jack Russell‘s autobiography, finally here, is titled The True Tale Of Mista Bone: A Rock + Roll Narrative. Published by Gatekeeper Press, the book is written by Katelyn Louise “K.L.” Doty and includes a heartfelt foreword by Lita Ford. Fans can also expect insights from rock figures like Eric Singer, Eddie Trunk, John Kalodner, Kip Winger, and more. The book is available in paperback, hardcover, and e-book formats, featuring a cover photo by legendary rock photographer Mark Weiss.
Jack Russell‘s time with GREAT WHITE ended in December 2011. Injuries, including a perforated bowel and a shattered pelvis, forced him to leave the touring band. Russell attributed these injuries to a combination of factors, including past struggles with alcohol and painkillers, as well as a medication called prednisone.
