Nevermore frontman Warrel Dane passed away at the age of 56 years old last week after having a heart attack. Dane was in São Paulo, Brazil recording the follow-up to his 2008 solo album Praises To The War Machine, and now a crowdfunding campaign has been launched to help his family with his final expenses. These expenses include getting Dane back to Seattle and services, as well as a public memorial service. The public service will be held on January 7 at Studio Seven, 110 S. Horton Street, in Seattle.
