''Great White peaked in the late 1980s and early 1990s with a cover of "Once Bitten, Twice Shy." Russell was performing with his spinoff band, Jack Russell's Great White, at the packed West Warwick club when the band's pyrotechnics ignited soundproofing foam in the walls of the building.''

The fire was one of the deadliest in U.S. history. In the beginning of the autobiography published just weeks before his death, Russell offered an apology to the families of the victims.''
"I'm sorry for every gentle embrace of love no longer possible and that you dread every twentieth of February for more reasons than ice and snow. That birthdays and sunsets and good news are things you cannot share. That plans and dreams were not fulfilled. That hell walks with you," Russell wrote. "I'm sorry that it wasn't me."
