Sammy Avigal , known for his work with the Dutch bands Picture , Horizon, and Hammerhead , has died at the age of 65. The cause of death has not been confirmed, but with his wife's confirmation, many suspect that cancer took the artist's life.
“I just wanted to tell you that at 4:58 he lost his battle and passed away. Please celebrate the man, the legend. Goodbye my love – we all love you,” his wife wrote on the artist's Facebook page .
Picture also mourned Sammy's death, saying, “Needless to say, we are heartbroken by this terrible news. Sammy was a great friend, a great performer and vocalist. We are very proud that he sang in our band in 1982 when we recorded one of the best Dutch metal albums of all time: Diamond Dreamer . We will all miss him and would have liked to tour with you to celebrate this record, but it wasn't meant to be. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and loved ones. Rest in peace, Sammy Shmoulik Avigal!”
Rest in peace, Sammy.
