Firehouse vocalist CJ Snare has died at 64 years old. Snare sang for Firehouse between 1987 and present day, and performed on all the band’s studio material. We wish Snare‘s friends and family all the best at this time.
And if you don’t think you know Snare and his vocals in Firehouse, yes you do – at the very least you’ve definitely heard “I Live My Life For You” and “When I Look Into Your Eyes”. Firehouse was a big deal for a long time and were pretty damn good live.
“Today is a sad day for Rock N Roll,” wrote Firehouse. “It is with great sorrow we are letting the world know we have lost our brother: CJ Snare, the rock and roll warrior, lead vocalist, and a founding member of Firehouse.
“CJ snare passed unexpectedly at home Friday night, April 5, 2024. He was a young 64 years old. As you are all aware, CJ was expected to be back on stage with the band this summer after recovering from surgery. We are all in complete shock with CJ‘s untimely passing.
“CJ was was arguably one of the best vocal talents of a generation, touring the world with Firehouse non stop the past 34 years. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Snare family, Katherine Little, friends, and all our beloved fans all over the world. ‘Reach for the Sky’ CJ! You will be forever missed by family, friends, fans and your band mates. You’re singing with the angels now.”
