Legendary Whitesnake guitarist Bernie Marsden has passed away aged 72, with his family releasing the following statement:

On behalf of his family, it is with deep sadness we announce the death of Bernie Marsden. Bernie died peacefully on Thursday evening with his wife, Fran, and daughters, Charlotte and Olivia, by his side.

Bernie never lost his passion for music, writing and recording new songs until the end. 

Bernie performed at a number of HRH events, most recently was HRH Blues in April 2022. A truly sad day for the music world….

Our thoughts at HRH HQ are with Fran, his daughters and loved ones at this extremely sad time.
