February 29, 1972 – August 14, 2002
Dave Williams was the original lead singer of Texas metal band, Drowning Pool. Formed in 1996, the band built a sizable following thanks to well-received performances at Ozzy Osbourne’s early Ozzfests. In 2001, the band released their first album, Sinner, which included the hit single and MTV staple, “Bodies.” That exposure helped the album sell more than one million copies within the first year. While on tour on August 14, 2002, Dave Williams collapsed and died on the band’s tour bus in Virginia. Official reports concluded that he died of a heart muscle disease. He was 30 years old.
