He'd been suffering from Crohn's disease pretty badly for years, though still performing. Absolutely gutted about this. One of my all time favourite guitar players and he was so damn underrated! I was ill last year and missed Riot's show at Tiger Tiger in Manchester. He'd kept them going for over 35 years releasing many albums of high quality rock.
RIP Mark.

RIOT had no luck at all, though very talented. Good night, MARK REALE.
That's a shame, he's a great guitar player and I always hate hearing of anyone dying before having a chance to get old.
I just started to get into Riot, too.
Oh, no. :bluesad:
That sucks! I was just starting to get into them. Rock in peace.
