Eric Wagner (April 24, 1959 – August 22, 2021) was an American heavy metal singer, best known for his work with doom metal band Trouble.
Career
[edit | edit source]Wagner formed Trouble in 1979. He briefly left the band in the mid-1990s and formed Lid with guitarist Daniel Cavanagh, resulting in 1997's In the Mushroom.[1] He also appeared on Dave Grohl's heavy metal side-project Probot in 2004 with the song "My Tortured Soul".
He rejoined Trouble in 2000, and recorded one more album with them, Simple Mind Condition (2007), before leaving the band once again in May 2008 to pursue other musical interests and projects.[2][3][4]
Wagner had also been recording under the band name Blackfinger. He also formed The Skull, which features former Trouble bassist Ron Holzner.[5]
Death
[edit | edit source]Wagner died from complications of COVID-19 in Las Vegas on August 22, 2021, at the age of 62.[4][6][7][8] According to bassist Ron Holzner, Wagner refused to be vaccinated before his death because he was "generally opposed to institutionalized medicine".[9][10][11] Wagner completed his solo album, In the Lonely Light of Mourning, before his death. It was released posthumously on Cruz Del Sur Music.[12]
