Lonesome Dave Peverett, lead singer and founding member of Foghat, died Monday, February 7, 2000 after a year-long battle with cancer. He passed away in an Orlando, Florida hospital from double-pneumonia, at the age of 56.
Dave was born April 16, 1943, in Dulwich, England and raised in south London. After a tenure with Savoy Brown in the early seventies, he and fellow members Tony Stevens and Roger Earl left to form Foghat, with Rod Price added on lead guitar. Foghat was a radio staple in the 70s and 80s, producing such hits as Fool For The City, Slow Ride and I Just Wanna Make Love To You, but was best known for their energetic live shows. The 1977 album Foghat Live, which peaked at No. 11 on The Billboard 200, went double-platinum.

Dave was first diagnosed with cancer in 1998 after a tumor was found in his kidney and was removed. He had since undergone extensive chemotheraphy treatments, touring briefly with Foghat in support of their most recent release, 1998's Road Cases.

Dave Peverett

Musical artist

David Jack Peverett (16 April 1943 – 7 February 2000), also known as Lonesome Dave, was an English singer and guitarist, best known as the original lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Foghat, which he co-founded following his tenure in Savoy Brown.^[2]^[1]

Early years

Peverett was an avid fan of the blues and of blues-based rock and roll, and mastered these forms while performing. In the formative pre-Beatles early 1960s, he was the vocalist and lead guitarist of The Nocturnes, which included his brother John Peverett (later to be Rod Stewart's road manager before becoming a Baptist pastor in the United States) on drums, Keith Sutton on rhythm guitar, and Brixton neighbour Al "Boots" Collins (later to be editor of tourist magazines in the West Indies and Middle East) on tenor sax.

He was the voice and rhythm guitarist of Foghat, the band whose cover of Willie Dixon's I Just Want to Make Love to You put him and Foghat on the radar of a lot of fans. 'Lonesome' Dave Peverett was born on this day in 1943. He cut his teeth in the Blues infused band Savoy Brown before defecting from the group and taking Roger Earl (drums) and Tony Stevens (bass) with him to form Foghat.

The title track to Fool For the City and Slowride on the group's 3rd album, established Foghat as one of the best hard rocking bands of the 70's. The group's following albums did well, but things unraveled in the 80's

A 1993 reunion of the core members put Foghat back in front of fans for several tours, but Peverett developed kidney cancer and passed away in February of 2000.
