The Public Memorial For Bruce Corbitt Will Be Held Early Next Month


Metal fans are still reeling from the loss of Bruce Corbitt for metal legends Rigor Mortis and Warbeat, who passed away on January 25th following his two-plus year fight with esophageal cancer. He was 56 years old. Now a public memorial will be held for Bruce on Saturday, March 9th at the Ridglea Theater in Fort Worth, Texas. More details below. In addition to his musical work, Corbitt was a dedicated hearthealth advocate following the passing of Rigor Mortis guitarist Mike Scaccia, who died of a heart attack in 2012. Corbitt also had hearthealth issues but would go on to perform Rigor Mortis material with the band’s remaining members under the moniker Wizards Of Gore in tribute to Scaccia. Corbitt took home the Best Documentary Rotscar Award at Housecore Horror Fest 2014 for his Rigor Mortis Documentary Welcome To Your Funeral which documented the rise of the band, their history and more. Bruce was working on a book which will be released initially as a limited hardcore edition with all proceeds going to the support of the Corbitt family. More details on this coming soon.Continue reading
