Obituaries: Canadians Remember The Mavericks Frontman Raul Malo

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Detroit rocker Scott Richardson, opera singer Jubilant Sykes and New Zealand rock drummer Brent McLachlan.

Raul Malo (Raul Francisco Martínez-Malo Jr), the singer and songwriter whose operatic, lush lead vocals led the eclectic Americana/country group The Mavericks, died on Dec. 8, at age 60 following a two-year battle with cancer.

The Mavericks posted on the group’s official Facebook page, writing, “It’s with the deepest grief we share the passing of our friend, bandmate and brother Raul Malo. Anyone with the pleasure of being in Raul’s orbit knew that he was a force of human nature, with an infectious energy. Over a career of more than three decades entertaining millions around the globe, his towering creative contributions and unrivaled, generational talent created the kind of multicultural American music reaching far beyond America itself.
