‘April Wine’ Icon Myles Goodwyn Passes Away at 75

Today, we’re saying goodbye to the legendary Myles Goodwyn, the rockstar behind April Wine.

He jammed his heart out for 75 years, and today, the music world is a little quieter without him. 🎤

Now, we don’t have all the deets on why Myles left the stage. It’s a bit of a mystery – no cause of death, no location, and no word on where we can pay our respects.

A spokesperson spilled the beans but kept it hush-hush.

Let’s take a moment to soak in the fact that April Wine, led by Myles, sold a whopping 10 million records worldwide!

Can you even wrap your head around that?

These guys rocked so hard they earned a spot in the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame back in 2010. Talk about leaving a mark!

But Myles wasn’t just about rocking stages; he bagged the East Coast Music Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 and the SOCAN National Achievement Award in 2002.

Dude was a musical force to be reckoned with.

Now, get this – Myles didn’t stop at belting out tunes. He spilled his life story in 2016 with the memoir “Just Between You and Me.”

And if that wasn’t cool enough, he dabbled in fiction with “Elvis and Tiger” in 2018.

Rockstar turned author – who saw that coming?

The blues had a special place in Myles’ heart. His 2018 recording, “Myles Goodwyn and Friends Of The Blues,” got a JUNO nomination and snagged the ECMA award for Blues Recording of the Year in 2019.

Lightning struck twice in 2020 with “Myles Goodwyn and Friends of the Blues 2” winning the same bluesy title.

Earlier this year, Myles bid adieu to April Wine for live shows, but guess what? He kept the music alive with his acoustic trio.

Because, hey, a true rocker never really retires.

As we hit pause to remember Myles Goodwyn, let’s celebrate the guy who made us groove, smile, and feel alive through his music.

Legends like him might leave the stage, but their tunes stay in our hearts forever. Rock on, Myles! 🤘🎶
