Bernie Marsden passed away lately due to his sickness. Whitesnake founder Bernie Marsden recently sent a video message with his fans detailing health issues he has been facing.
For the first time in six weeks, the guitarist shared a video on social media last night, August 22, disclosing that he had surgery in June.
The 71-year-old Marsden said he had “acute dehydration” after the treatment and had to return to the hospital for a week.
After being unable to play live at the Firestorm Rock Festival in Manchester earlier this month and having to postpone his planned participation at the Blues In Hell Festival in Norway on September 3, Marsden apologized to his supporters and described it as “a difficult year.”
The good news is that he’s becoming stronger and better every day.
Bernie Marsden said in his message that he hadn’t written anything in a while. He had experienced a number of things in the last several months.
He underwent surgery in June, and after the procedure, he was recovering well until he developed severe dehydration, necessitating my hospitalization for almost a week.
On Thursday night, August 24, 2023, Marsden peacefully departed, accompanied by his wife and two kids.
Later, on Friday morning, Marsden’s old bandmate David Coverdale expressed his condolences on his Twitter (X) account.
