Guitarist John Waterhouse , a long-time member of the Heavy Metal - Hard Rock band DEMON , has died at the age of 75.

The British musician's death has been confirmed by the group itself, which shared this message on its social media:

"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of DEMON legend John Waterhouse, just days after his birthday . He was surrounded by his loved ones...

John was a huge part of the DEMON family, playing on six studio albums and contributing his signature sound to classic albums like Breakout and Taking the World by Storm... Rest in Peace, John, and enjoy a jam with Mal... Time Has Come!

Waterhouse was a member of DEMON from 1984 to 1994, during which time he recorded numerous albums with the band. His notable works include:

British Standard Approved - 1985

Heart of Our Time - 1985

Demon (EP) - 1986

Breakout - 1987

Taking the World by Storm - 1989

One Helluva Night (live album) - 1990

Hold On to the Dream - 1991

Blow-Out – 1992

DEMON celebrated 45 years in 2024, releasing their fourteenth studio album, " Invincible ," the follow-up to 2016's "Cemetery Junction."

" Dave Hill 's raspy, soulful vocals may have been the common denominator since the band's early days, but DEMON is arguably one of the few bands that has managed to maintain its signature sound over the years and update it for the new century, while maintaining a taste for a mysterious image and elegant music."

DEMON originally formed part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement , although they gradually incorporated elements of Hard Rock and Progressive Rock after their first two albums. They debuted in 1981 with the album "Night of the Demon" and have maintained a steady career throughout the years, except for a hiatus between 1994 and 1996.
