Montrose Death A Suicide

Nearly a month after the passing of Ronnie Montrose (story), the guitar great's family has acknowledged that his death was actually a suicide and not directly the result of cancer, as initial reports had indicated.  In a statement released at about the same time a coroner's report on the cause of death was being released, his family wrote, 'We hope you can understand why we wanted to keep this news a private family matter for as long as possible', and implored those that admired Ronnie to celebrate his life rather than mourn over his passing, adding that Montrose, '...adored and appreciated his fans'.  Many musicians, including his other Montrose band mates, will gather later this month to pay tribute to him during a Bay Area concert (story).
