He began his U.S. career with Ted Nugent’s “Penetrator” album, which was released in 1984. Howe later joined Bad Company in 1986 after the group’s original singer, Paul Rodgers, left.
Howe left Bad Company in 1994 to pursue a solo career. He continued to tour with his band until earlier this year, when the coronavirus pandemic forced all live performances to stop.
Howe’s friend and manager, Paul Easton, confirmed the rocker’s passing in the statement.
“It is with deep and profound sadness that we announce the untimely passing of a loving father, friend and musical icon, Brian Howe,” Easton said.
