@@rnbsn777 He had a heart attack at his home in Ft. Myers, FL. He was lucid when the EMTs got to him but they couldn't revive him after that in the ambulance, and he was later pronounced doa after they reached the hospital. I suspect it might actually have been a heart attack due to Covid, bc Florida did not test or report properly in the early months of the pandemic and heart failure is one of the typical effects if you already have a weak heart and he had just had a heart attack a couple years before. However, that said, his current bandmates did not report that he was sick with any symptoms of any kind so it may simply have been his time to go (he'd just written and recorded in 2019 a song he wrote about his time to go approaching, it was called, I'm Going Home). It's been released and is on his YouTub page if you want to hear it. It'll make you cry. He knew. He was an exceptional songwriter, singer, and musician. Now he's *Walking on Holy Water* in the next.
Dude was astonishing -- a 5-octave tenor "unicorn" voice type for Rock male vocalists, like Freddie Mercury. Blew Paul Rodgers out of the water (and Rodgers, who I think is a sick man, mocked Brian's death the day after Howe died by posting a video on the Bad Co. website May 7 2020 and onto his social media accounts... Ticked all of us off big time! Even Paul's own fans got angry about it and he got so much flack he took it down the next day). Kirke had the decency to post a one-liner about Brian's passing on his own website a couple days later. Brian was amazing, he was like a racehorse without a track to run on and they've tried to erase him from the band by removing him from the Bio and the chronology etc., but they can't erase his Platinum and Gold albums, which I'd like to point out to anyone reading this, went Platinum and Gold during his tenure touring to 10K-25K Arena-audiences 86-94 while he fronted Bad Co, and in a very short sales time period. Whereas the big sellers Rodgers had before the band tanked in 1982 (previous to Howe saving them), took a wee bit longer to gain momentum. I was a very young reporter at the time of his tenure with BC and I'll never forget his music. Hearing his voice for the first time was like getting hit by lightning. Now he's *walking on Holy Water* and he will be in my memories forever. cheers- see you in the next life, man.
@@KRConnection :) I hear ya. I can honestly say his death hit me harder than some breakups I've had that maybe should have! LOL. I literally pulled my car over to the side of the road on Route 9 in Massachusetts to listen to him the first time I heard his voice... it really was like getting struck in the heart by lightning. Really great memories of his music and what it meant to me back then.
@Jim Kohler Thank you. I'm at work on an article about him that will come out on Medium and several other sites on his birthday next month, as a tribute, and it's a bit controversial. I'm also researching what I think might be copyright infringement of one or more of his songs written for BC but attributed to other writers, and if I find anything, it will be made known. I'm also at work on a biography and it does not paint Kirke or Rodgers in a good light bc they've done a great deal of bad-mouthing him over the years despite that he gave them the most financially successful decade they'd ever had before or since. There's so much more but I'm loathe to put more of it here bc of trolls.
That was a great tour. I saw it twice - 8/3/1990 in Noblesville, Indiana, and 11/7/1990 in Louisville, Kentucky. And I wish Damn Yankees had stayed together a lot longer; they had great chemistry.
Made a mix tape way back when, to my girl. This was the very first song. This song was our first dance at our wedding. 30 married years later we're still dancing. Thank you Brian, for EVERYTHING!
My favorite Bad Company LPs had Brian Howe on vocal. What a great vocal. Brian continues to perform 70s Bad Co material, Its not necessary, He has enough solo material to focus on 80s Bad Co & Solo
The best advice ever from 04:50 to... "BECAUSE TOMORROW YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN" 💖 Oh Mr. Howe, you made me teary-eyed!!! Rest in peace... 🕯✨️ You'll be never forgotten. 🌟🎤🎶
I love Bad Co. I think Paul Rodgers is one of Rocks best vocalist. I think Brian Howe is a great vocalist and a crazy good songwriter and could have and should have hit it huge with a good band and when he fronted Bad Co they needed him much more than he needed them or classic rock stations would have been where Bad Co would have been relegated. He did not replace Paul, he just did his thing at a great time. I came of age with BH and Bad Co. I love music and to me there are no competitions.......Peace
What a beautifule man and what a unbelievable big voice! Germany is crying and oure tribute-cd dedicated to Brian will be out in September 2022! RUclips: Marc Lorinser
Anyone have a set list for this gig? Was he doing any Ted Nugent like Tied Up In Love? So sad he’s gone - very underrated vocalist absolutely love him in Bad Co.
He brought Bad Company back from oblivion. Brian Howe sang hits Holy Water and this song. Before that, no one was listening to BC in the late 80's and early 90's. So, even though they do none of his songs in their sets anymore, he did come in as a relief quarterback, and do his job. Too bad no respect is shown.
it appears that these re the same band members for the last 10 yrs ... but -- I don't know about the guitarist on stage right .... the rest seems a bit older but are the same players ... updated: about one year later he dies .. don't know if this is his last concert or not .... R.I.P.
I loved bad company with Brian so much more than with Paul Rogers. He had a wonderful voice. All those band members look too young to be original bad company members though
Talent-wise nowhere near Paul...but I do like some of those songs, as a die-hard Bad company, fan...those were the dark years for the band, Rest in peace Brian.
RIP..you were the best thing to ever happen to Bad Company
YES. Yes, he was.
How did he pass? Didn't know he was sick

Yes its very unfortunate. Well he's in God's hands. He's up in heaven now.
Absolutely he's the reason why the group return to the mainstream. And he was a successful musician

To keep a voice like that in this shape, at his age, is nearly impossible. RIP BH
Saw Bad Company & Damn Yankees 3 times in 1992. Some of the best shows. You'll be missed. RIP.
That was a great tour. I saw it twice - 8/3/1990 in Noblesville, Indiana, and 11/7/1990 in Louisville, Kentucky. And I wish Damn Yankees had stayed together a lot longer; they had great chemistry.
OMG.. he sounds so great here...so much passion in his voice.
He still delivers here.
That golden voice will be missed, Mr. Howe!!!!
Brian had some great rock and roll songs. RIP sir.
Puts a tear in my eye! Rest in Paradise Brian...
Made a mix tape way back when, to my girl.
This was the very first song.
This song was our first dance at our wedding.
30 married years later we're still dancing.
Thank you Brian, for EVERYTHING!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
His speech starting at 4:50 is not only great advice, but it's even more emotional, as he died less than a year later.
Yes its very emotional as I randomly play my old favourite song and realised he had passed away, RIP Brian howe
RIP Brian Howe. You will be missed. Great shows with Bad Co 90 & 91. Some of my greatest times.😔
I will listen to your music for the rest of my life. Thanks for the killer tunes Brian. YOU were Bad Company when it mattered.
The late great Brian Howe of BadCo Rest In Peace you were awesome !!
Just saw him at corpus Christi freightliner, put on a bad ass show, funny guy. Never thought I'd get to see him perform in my life time.
My favorite Bad Company LPs had Brian Howe on vocal. What a great vocal. Brian continues to perform 70s Bad Co material, Its not necessary, He has enough solo material to focus on 80s Bad Co & Solo
But he wrote this song. It’s his.
A great voice that will always be remembered
Great Song and what a beautiful voice! RIP Mr. Howe.....
RIP legend !!
Dang. Just learned of his passing by browsing the comments. He was great with bad company, great voice!
I absolutely love the holy water album. Such a great compilation of songs.
Rest in Peace Brian! Thank you for all your efforts in Rock n Roll!
God I love this song.
He will be missed , but what a musical talent
my fave bad co era..was Brians...great melodies.... fantastic singer........ shame on the other members for stiffing him!!
That's just sad.they diddnt understand what he can do.
Loved his voice, and the songs!! Damn, but his music lives forever!! Yaay!
RIP! Lucky enough to meet Brian. Great down to earth guy and HELL of a singer!!!
Best vocalist for Bad Company in my opinion!
Thank you for posting this video. We appreciate it.
Great voice. I just discovered the Ted Nugent 'Penetrator' album he sang the bulk on... seriously great.
LOVE tied up in Love
Penetrator was an awesome tour and THUNDER THIGHS an awesome song but Ted on vocals.
Amazing song! RIP Brian
You are missed Brian. R.I.P.
A very nice guy. Always there to help. RIP…..
Great song really brings back lots of memorys

Rest in peace... 🕯✨️
You'll be never forgotten. 🌟🎤🎶
Bad ass - powerful. RIP Brian
The sweetest love song from Bad Company..I love it till today..Peace, Brian..Success, Steve..best regards from Indonesia👍
Thank you for this video. Was such a great singer and a nice human being.
I love Bad Co. I think Paul Rodgers is one of Rocks best vocalist. I think Brian Howe is a great vocalist and a crazy good songwriter and could have and should have hit it huge with a good band and when he fronted Bad Co they needed him much more than he needed them or classic rock stations would have been where Bad Co would have been relegated.

Absolutely one of my favorite songs they ever did.
Thanks, Brian. For real, thank you.
WHAT A VOICE , rip Brian , such a loss , all peace dude x
Just found out a couple days ago. Really bummed. So sorry for his family! He didn't get the acclaim he deserved!
This is for Dennis fissile the love of my life. I miss him so much and I deadacate this song to Dennis.

Come on Brian
I keep waiting for him to break out with some Ron White jokes. Great voice RIP
I thought this was fitting for a Brian Howe tribute song. He was spectacular.

So, even though they do none of his songs in their sets anymore, he did come in as a relief quarterback, and do his job. Too bad no respect is shown.
Wow! RIP
Now I've said this before. I think this was written because he had a broken Hart.
RIP
Gone too soon
Always better than Paul Rodgers. RIP Brian.

I thought this US rock band.. I know other rock band has similar with this band... Bad English.. And Firehouse..
Every one sees she pressures him.my god
I'd like to see Justin Timberlake cover this song
Man needs a better backing band behind him. Sounds like shit, but he still sounds pretty damn good.
that's a no for me
... dog lol
Talent-wise nowhere near Paul...but I do like some of those songs, as a die-hard Bad company, fan...those were the dark years for the band, Rest in peace Brian.
Can't compare,,2 totally different talents..period
He was far better than Paul Rogers
@@renetaylor9109 What are you smoking I want some.... that's some good stuff.
Love this guy but this is horrible
I'm gonna have to disagree on that .The guy still got it.
