“Our brother, leader, vocalist, our Chief Rebel Angel went on another ride last night. It’s with the deepest sadness that we have to announce that Lars-Göran Petrov has left us. He was (is!!!) an incredible friend, and a person that has touched so many people. He has changed so many lives with his voice, his music, his character and his unique personality. LG’s smile is something that we will carry forever in our hearts. When asked in an interview what he would like to have written on his grave and what about his legacy, he said: ​“I will never die, it will never die.” And you didn’t. You will live forever in our hearts.”

“R.I.P. LG Petrov.”

LG previously praised the Swedish health services, speaking with Louder last summer after announcing his diagnosis. Saying “They’re awesome, They had a really tough spring and summer with the coronavirus, but whenever I come in they’re always happy, always in a good mood. They’re amazing.”

“But also, have your check-ups once in while,” he added in a message to fans. ​“You never know. I wouldn’t wish this shit on anybody, so take care of yourself and use your common sense.”

Tributes have poured in across social media for the musician.

Paying his tribute to the singer, Johan Hegg of Amon Amarth said “The word legend is to small to describe LG and what he meant for me as a friend and inspiration. Not only was he one of the best and original voices in metal, but the most kind, humble, funny and genuine person one could ever hope to meet. I will miss you my friend! R.I.P. 🤘”

Danko Jones posted to Twitter to pay tribute, saying “R.I.P. LG Petrov. The absolute undisputed greatest voice in death metal. Supreme respect.”

The Rock Fix sends our condolences to LG’s family and friends at this time.
