Brad Skiffington Death, Obituary – Brad Skiffington, a musician known for the song “Don’t stop believing “ the has died suddenly and unexpectedly following an illness leaving loved ones in pain and agony, according to an online publication. ”We mourn the loss of Brad Skiffington, who passed away today. An outstanding member of the human species, and I count it a distinct honor to be able to call them my friend. At the beginning of the 1990s, our substantial and tightly knit group of musical partners frequently occupied the space located at 48 Holbrook Avenue.
Despite the fact that he was ill at the time, we were blessed with the opportunity to hear him perform Journey’s “Lights” on multiple times. In addition to his other health issues, which he bravely tackled head on, Brad suffered from cystic fibrosis and, ultimately, had a double lung transplant. He overcame all of his health issues by facing them head on. Because we were all so familiar with one another, we would regularly have gigs arranged for one another, and whoever had that particular night open on their calendar would be the one to play it.
This was because we all played in the same band. He would call me up and ask if I was available to go with him so that we could “spread the vocal workload” and “give him a rest.” In other words, we could “spread the vocal workload” and “give him a rest.” It wasn’t out of the ordinary for him to be backstage during the breaks sucking on an oxygen mask. After that, he’d come out on stage and do “Don’t stop believing” or another song that was just as difficult while the rest of us on stage just shook our heads.
He was the epitome of the term “professional.” He behaved like an animal. He had a great sense of humor. And kind. And naughty. And oh my goodness, what a voice he possessed! It was an honor to have performed on stage alongside him for a number of different times. In addition to that, I considered him a buddy. On the occasion of the demise of their loved one, please accept my deepest condolences on behalf of his wife Rebecca, his family, friends, and band members both present and formerly associated with him.
It is a privilege and a blessing that I had the opportunity to know the man, and tonight I will listen to him on YouTube (and you should do the same), and I will consider it a privilege and a blessing that I had the opportunity to know him. I hope everything works out for you, brother.
