Gerri Miller, longtime editor of the legendary Metal Edge magazine, has passed away at 67 years old after a long battle with Lupus and stage 4 cancer. Miller was 67 years old and had a pretty large impact on the 80s metal scene.

Bands such as Guns N’ Roses, Kiss, Mötley Crüe, Anthrax, Skid Row, and Poison have all come out on social media to thank her for her efforts, and to pay tribute to a woman who had such a great influence on the music we all love.

Without Metal Edge, there would be no Metal Injection – plain and simple. Here are some tributes from some artists:

This sucks!! Gerri was so kind to our band and so many others in our early days and beyond. You could always count on her support. She played a big part in our success. So sorry for all of her family and friends (of which there were many). You will be missed.— sNAKE sABO (@sNAKEsABO) March 15, 2021
