Legendary Johnny Winter Dies At 70
Texas blues icon Johnny Winter has passed away on July 16, 2014 in his hotel room in Zurich, Switzerland.
His wife, family and bandmates are all saddened by the loss of their loved one and one of the world’s finest guitarists.
I saw him play exactly once at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver in 2011. He was frail in those days, had to be helped on and off the stage and he sat down for his 90 minute set. Dude still played like a madman, taking all but two solos the whole set. We’ve lost a blues giant. RIP Johnny Winter
