Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider paid tribute to Jack Russell, by sharing a photo on his X page (former Twitter), followed by the next message:
“RIP Jack Russel. This man was vilified for a situation out of his control and tortured by the memories. He was not evil. And man could he sing.”
“That situation should not be in any discussion regarding his legacy,” journalist Dave Wight replied. “Iconic voice. It was a tragic situation that I am sure lived with him until he passed. The losers and hacks who continually bring it up need to move on. Jack’s voice was irreplaceable, no one sounded like him. The Led Zeppelin covers were also fantastic.”
A user responded to the journalist: “The fire was the deadliest fireworks accident in U.S. history & the 4th deadliest nightclub fire in U.S. history. Of the 462 people there, 100 were killed, 230 were injured, & 132 escaped uninjured Don’t tell people who lost their loved ones to move on or call them names A-hole.”
Snider defended the user and Russell: “Well said, Megan. I would never say that. No matter how much my heart has and continues to bleed for those victims, I will not speak ill of Jack Russell when I know the accusation is untrue. Rest in peace Jack.”
