Kevin Dubrow, 52, Quiet Riot frontman

Singer found dead in Las Vegas home

By VARIETY STAFF

Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, was found dead Sunday in a Las Vegas home. He was 52.

The cause and manner of death were not immediately known, pending an autopsy and toxicology results, said the Clark County Coroner’s Office. Quiet Riot was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of the song “Cum on Feel the Noize.”

"I can't even find words to say," Banali wrote. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend Kevin DuBrow." *

Though DuBrow was open about his substance-abuse issues -- last year's Quiet Riot album was titled "Rehab" and contained the track "Old Habits Die Hard" -- his recent health had been good. Quiet Riot finished a substantial U.S. tour in September.*

Quiet Riot’s most recent album was “Rehab” in 2006.
