Kevin Dubrow | Heavy-metal singer, 52

Kevin Dubrow, 52, lead singer for the 1980s heavy-metal band Quiet Riot, was found dead Sunday in a Las Vegas home. The cause was not immediately known. There was no forced entry, and no suspicious circumstances were reported, Police Officer Jose Montoya said. A neighbor summoned police and paramedics to the house, police and coroner's officials said. Quiet Riot was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize." The song, featuring Mr. Dubrow's powerful, gravelly voice, appeared on the band's album Metal Health - the first by a metal band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart. Mr. DuBrow recorded his first solo album in 2004, In for the Kill , and the band's last studio CD, Rehab , came out in October 2006. - Associated Press
