January 27, 2011

GoErie.com reports that Henrik Ostergaard, the founder and leader of internationally known hard-rock band DIRTY LOOKS, died of "natural causes" at 9:18 a.m. while under hospice care, according to Erie County Coroner Lyle Cook. He was 47 years old.

"I'm deeply saddened by the news of Henrik's passing," said Jack Pyers, who played bass on numerous DIRTY LOOKS albums. "I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to work with and share some significant achievements with Henrik.

"He is and will certainly always be in my thoughts and close to my heart. So, my deepest respect to Henrik as a friend, father, husband and one of the best (expletive deleted) rock 'n roll singers that ever was."

Henrik, who was of Danish descent, nearly died from alcohol poisoning a few years ago. He lived in Erie, Pennsylvania and ran a local moving business, 2 Guys & A Truck.
