Former Nazareth Singer Dan McCafferty Dies at 76

- “I have lost my best friend,” bassist Pete Agnew says

Singer Dan McCafferty, the voice of Nazareth from its 1968 founding until his retirement in 2013, has died, bassist Pete Agnew said with “the saddest announcement I ever had to make.”

McCafferty was 76 when he died Nov. 8. No cause was given, though the singer had COPD, which led to his decision to stop touring.

“I have lost my best friend and the world has lost one of the greatest singers who ever lived,” Agnew said in a statement. “Too upset to say anything more at this time.”

McCafferty possessed “one of our favorite voices (in) a band we truly love,” Nightbound said on Facebook.

“The end of an era, but legacy will never die,” the band said.

Best known for songs such as “Hair of the Dog,” “Love Hurts” and “Holiday,” Nazareth continued after McCafferty’s retirement with Agnew as the last remaining original member.

“That man could SING,” Jason Isbell tweeted upon hearing of McCafferty’s death.

McCafferty released a solo album, Last Testament, in 2019.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his bandmates, family and friends,” the “saddened” members of Foghat wrote on Facebook.

“We did many shows with (Nazareth) over the years. Great band. RIP, Dan.”
