Rick Froberg, frontman for bands like Pitchfork, Drive Like Jehu, Rocket From The Crypt, and Hot Snakes as well as renown visual artist, has passed away at 55 years old. If you were at any point in your life into post-hardcore, then Rick Froberg is a name you are very familiar with. We wish Froberg's friends and family all the best at this time.
Froberg's passing was confirmed by Hot Snakes co-founder John Reis.
"Rick passed away suddenly last night from natural causes," Reis wrote. "His art made life better. The only thing he loved more than art and rock n roll was his friends. He will forever be remembered for his creativity, vision and his ability to bring beauty into this world. I love you, Rick. I will miss you for the rest of my life."
