Dennis Locorriere, chanteur et guitariste de Dr. Hook, est décédé à 76 ans

Dennis Locorriere, membre fondateur et leader du groupe de soft rock des années 1970 Dr. Hook, est décédé à l'âge de 76 ans après une longue bataille contre une maladie rénale. Il s'est éteint paisiblement le 16 mai 2026, entouré de ses proches. La nouvelle a été confirmée par des communiqués du groupe et de son équipe de gestion.

Locorriere a cofondé Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show en 1969 dans le New Jersey. Il a débuté comme bassiste et chanteur principal du groupe avant d'en devenir le leader emblématique. La formation a connu un succès majeur avec des tubes tels que "Sylvia’s Mother", "The Cover of ‘Rolling Stone’", "When You’re in Love with a Beautiful Woman" et "Sharing the Night Together". Ils ont collaboré étroitement avec l'auteur-compositeur Shel Silverstein sur leurs premiers albums, avant de raccourcir plus tard leur nom en Dr. Hook.
