Spirit of the West's John Mann, 57, dies after battle with Alzheimer's

Songs and lyrics 'will be remembered for generations,' bandmate says

Canadian music icon John Mann has died at age 57.

Mann, whose career spanned nearly 40 years, was best known as the frontman of the folk-rock band Spirit of the West.

He died peacefully surrounded by friends and family in Vancouver on Wednesday.

"His songs, and his lyrics particularly, will be remembered for generations," said Vince Ditrich, the band's drummer and manager.  

"He had such a gift for finding the universal in the everyday."

A four-time Juno nominee for his work with Spirit of the West, Mann and his Vancouver band became underground heroes for their politically savvy, musically diverse songwriting, which fused traditional strains of folk, Celtic and turn-of-the-'90s alt-rock.

This week, we salute John Mann, who passed on Wednesday. A phenomenal man who should be remembered for so much more than just music - a musician, yes, but also an actor, am activist, and an all around great guy.

So enjoy this iconic Canadian aggressive folk song, staple of house parties the country over. We'll miss you, John. Rest well.
