Jack Russell is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on December 5, 1960 in Montebello, Montebello, United States. Jack Russell (born December 5, 1960), is an American rock vocalist. He is a founding member of the American hard rock band Great White.
Fully recovered, he started touring again as “Jack Russell’s Great White” in December 2011 to avoid confusion with the still-touring official Great White band which had continued onward in 2009 with a different singer following Russell’s departure.
In 2012 Russell guest starred on VH1 Classics “That Metal Show”, where he revealed his side of the Great White story, and how he was feeling well and ready for more.
Russell was born in Montebello, California. He grew up with influences such as Robert Plant and Steven Tyler, and became a vocalist for many bands in high school and later on. He met Mark Kendall in a concert and began plans to form a band called Dante Fox. Band manager Alan Niven and Kendall decided to change the name of the band to Great White because “that was Mark Kendall’s nickname. He had very white hair and very light complexion. They called him The Great White”. Russell’s ancestry is English, Irish and Native American.
In 2006 he began touring with the official Great White band when they reformed with their classic lineup, then left the band in 2009 due to a fall in his bathroom where he cracked two vertebrae and herniated a disc. He had multiple back surgeries and was using a plethora of pain medication. Along with alcoholism, the death of good friend, Warrant singer Jani Lane, propelled him to get help and become sober.
