Le batteur de Quiet Riot, Frankie Banali a perdu la bataille qu'il menait contre le cancer du pancréas.
Il est décédé à l’âge de 68 ans.
Le groupe qui a démarré avec le guitariste Randy Rhoads a eu son quart d'heure de gloire au début des années 80 (Metal Health, Condition Critical) avec des reprises de Slade.Frankie was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer on April 17, 2019 and given six months to live. He put up an inspiringly brave and courageous 16-month battle to the end and continued playing live as long as he could. Standard chemotherapy stopped working and a series of strokes made the continuation on a clinical trial impossible. He ultimately lost the fight at 7:18 p.m. on August 20 in Los Angeles surrounded by his wife and daughter.
