Mike Peters<\/strong> — the lead singer of the rock band The Alarm — has died … according to the BBC.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

It’s not immediately clear when or how Peters died … though it’s worth noting the Welsh rocker fought cancer on and off for three decades leading up to his death.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Peters was best known for cofounding The Alarm, though the initial punk-rock iteration of the group went by the name The Toilets and started performing in 1977.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

After a few years and a couple name changes, the band settled on their name The Alarm, and played together from 1981 to 1991.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

During this time, they released hit songs like “Sixty Eight Guns,” “Spirit of ’76,” “Sold Me Down the River” and many more tracks.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Peters left the group in 1991, embarking on a solo career … though, he later put another band together using the name The Alarm MM++ — with the pluses replaced by Roman numerals to indicate what year the album came out.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Peters’ battle with cancer began when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1995 … and, he was later diagnosed with lymphocytic leukemia twice.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Though he’d been in remission, BBC News reports<\/strong><\/a> Peters’ Richter’s Syndrome — an aggressive form of lymphoma — returned this year. It’s unclear if this was the cause of his death at this time.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Peters cofounded a charity, the Love Hope Strength Foundation, to help people fighting cancer just like himself … Love Hope Strength used live music shows to recruit bone marrow donors.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

We’ve reached out to the charity for comment … so far, no word back.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
