Dennis Locorriere, sångare och gitarrist i Dr. Hook, har dött vid 76 års ålder

Dennis Locorriere, grundare och frontman i 1970-talets soft rock-band Dr. Hook, har avlidit vid 76 års ålder efter en lång kamp mot njursjukdom. Han gick bort fridfullt den 16 maj 2026, omgiven av sina nära och kära. Nyheten bekräftades genom uttalanden från bandet och hans management.

Locorriere var med och grundade Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show 1969 i New Jersey. Han började som bandets basist och sångare innan han blev dess främsta frontman. Gruppen nådde stora framgångar med hits som "Sylvia’s Mother", "The Cover of ‘Rolling Stone’", "When You’re in Love with a Beautiful Woman" och "Sharing the Night Together". De arbetade nära låtskrivaren Shel Silverstein på sina tidiga album och förkortade senare namnet till Dr. Hook.
