After a long battle against leukaemia, LOOSE CANNONS guitarist Marcus Rutherford has passed away. A message from the band said the following:
“After a four and a half year battle against leukaemia, our guitarist and best friend Marcus passed away in hospital surrounded by his family last Friday, 24th February 2012.
Thanks to everyone that has sent messages of support to Marcus since our last post about Marcus being in hospital, and we’d like it if you know someone that knew Marcus/played a show with us/spoke to Marcus, share this message around so everyone that needs to know, gets this news.
Obviously this is the worst thing that could’ve happened but he passed peacefully and without pain, knowing we all loved him.
Rest In Peace Marcus Rutherford. Love Jack, Dan and Lee x”
Our thoughts are with, Marcus’ family, the band and all of his friends.
