Former OBITUARY bassist Frank Watkins has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 47 years old.
Since late 2007, Watkins had been the bass player of the Norwegian black metal band GORGOROTH and performed with the band at last year’s edition of Hellfest in Clisson, France (see video below).
Watkins left OBITUARY in 2010 on acrimonious terms and was eventually replaced by Terry Butler.

Just got the very sad news that Frank passed away this morning. Our thoughts and and prayers are with his family….
