Dave Lepard is best remembered as the lead singer and guitarist for Swedish glam metal band, Crashdiet.  Formed in 2000, the band built a sizable cult following due in part, to an image and sound that took its cue from the likes of Guns ‘n Roses, Motley Crue and Hanoi Rocks.  They released their debut album, Rest in Sleaze in 2005.  That following January, Dave Lepard committed suicide at the age of 25.
