Alan Merrill, co-writer and singer of the original version of"I Love Rock 'N' Roll," has died at age 69 from COVID-19, according to his daughter, who shared the news on social media.She continued:"I was given 2 minutes to say my goodbyes before I was rushed out. He seemed peaceful and as I left was still a glimmer of hope that he wouldn’t be a ticker on the right hand side of the CNN/Fox news screen. I walked 50 blocks home still with hope in my heart.
"People are dying. You don’t think It’ll happen to you or your strong family. It has. Stay home if not for you...for others. For my dad. This thing is real. We probably won’t be able to mourn him properly with a funeral. I just lost the greatest love of my life and won’t be able to hug anyone because I’ve been exposed and need to self quarantine for two weeks....alone," she said.
Merrill was lead vocalist on the Arrows' original"I Love Rock 'N' Roll," but the song went on to be recorded and released by. It was their version of the song, of course, that hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1982.
Rest In Peace 🙏
So sad knowing this man should not have died. 🙏💔😢🤟🎸
Only watched this a couple of weeks ago. So sad to hear that Alan Merrill has died.
😦
I love that song! RIP 🥺
:(
Damn, this is the third singer today
There just are no words. What is happening to our world?
JJohnsonLaw May he RIP. I’m afraid that Americans are so cultish about celebrities and famous people, Covid_19 won’t become “real” until famous people die.
