On Aug 15, 2024 the band Great White posted on social media a statement in regards to the passing of Former singer Jack Russell


"What do you say about someone that was there by your side on such an amazing journey, the good and the bad? We prefer to let the music fill in the blanks. All those wonderful years together will be held close to our hearts. It was a privilege and joy to share the stage with him -many shows, many miles, and maximum rock. In the studio, Jack was amazing. He always came ready to work. And work hard, he did. Jack stayed until he got the best performance for each song. He brought the same excellence to every show. The consistency of his live performances were always beyond comparison. "


Russell's death was announced by his family in a social media statement Aug 15, 2024

After continual problems with the law, singer Jack Russell moved to Los Angeles where his focus shifted from rebellious small-town antics to unruly nights on the Sunset Strip. Then came the birth of Great White. The band signed with Capitol and began touring with the biggest acts in rock and roll, but the road was an invitation for continued substance abuse and trouble in the limelight.


Russell's story is incomplete without a candid retelling of his experience during the three-year trial linked to the Station Nightclub fire in 2003. Catching most of the blame for the improper use of pyrotechnics, Russell became the face of a tragedy that claimed the lives of 100 people in just 60 seconds.



From drug abuse and jail time to a record deal and MTV fame, The True Tale of Mista Bone is the long-awaited autobiography of a man with something to say. Penned by author K. L. Doty, fans of Jack Russell will be given a thorough look into the rise, fall, and return of one of rock's most powerful voices.


Backed by commentary from major industry names, Russell's story is one of colossal heartache, healing, and ultimately redemption.


The ending will surprise you
