| Thursday, July 9, 2009 - Former Crimson Glory singer Midnight passed away. | On wednesday, July 8th, former Crimson Glory singer Midnight (real name: John Patrick Jr. McDonald) passed away from "total kidney and liver failure." He was 47 years old.
According to Jon Oliva's Pain guitarist Matt LaPorte, who played on some of Midnight's recent solo recordings, the singer spent his final hours surrounded by his mother, brother, daughter as well as members of Crimson Glory, Savatage, and Jon Oliva's Pain. His death occurred at 3:30 a.m EST at St. Anthony's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Midnight sang on Crimson Glory's first three albums - "Crimson Glory" (1986), "Transcendence" (1988) and "Strange and Beautiful" (1991) - before going into self-imposed exile for almost a decade. He eventually rejoined Crimson Glory in 2005 but was dismissed in January 2007.
