Canadian music lost a true class act this week.
Haydain Neale, the frontman for the group Jacksoul died Sunday from lung cancer.
With the Nov. 3 release of a new Jacksoul single "Lonesome Highway" and an album of new material, Soulmate, slated for Dec. 1, fans couldn't help but think the Hamilton-born Neale was on the upswing.
His family has always been optimistic, but tightlipped, about his condition and intensive rehabilitation.
In a press release about the production of the new tunes – written, and seemingly recorded, prior to his accident – Neale says: "It takes me more time now, but I still orchestrate the room.
Sadly, Jacksoul's fifth album will now be the posthumous legacy of its gravelly-voiced frontman. Relatives announced late Monday that Neale died in hospital on Sunday after a seven-month battle with lung cancer.
He will be missed.
