Vocalist Lars-Göran Petrov (a.k.a. L-G) passed away on Sunday March 7th, 2021. He was Entombed A.D.'s frontman, and had a long history of Stockholm-sound death metal legends Entombed. He was 49 years old at time of his passing, due to bile duct cancer.

Here is Entombed A.D. members' statement:

"We are devastated to announce that our beloved friend Lars-Göran Petrov has left us.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Our brother, leader, vocalist, our Chief Rebel Angel went on another ride last night. It's with the deepest sadness that we have to announce that Lars-Göran Petrov has left us. He was (is!!!) an incredible friend, and a person that has touched so many people. He has changed so many lives with his voice, his music, his character and his unique personality. LG's smile is something that we will carry forever in our hearts. When asked in an interview what he would like to have written on his grave and what about his legacy, he said: 'I will never die, it will never die.' And you didn't. You will live forever in our hearts. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
R.I.P. LG Petrov."

Other band's he was in were Firespawn, Comecon, Morbid and of courswe Nihilist (pre-Entombed), among other smaller ones.

Firespawn members' statement:

"Words can not describe how we feel at this moment! Our beloved LG has left us 😭💔 As you all know he has been battling cancer for a while. We will miss you for the rest of our lives. Your legacy will live on forever. In our hearts you'll live forever ❤️ You're the greatest man death metal ever had and ever will have. We love you LG! 😭💔"

Former Entomed band members' statement:

"All the years, all the toil, all the dreams, the struggle, the rewards, the humor, the laughter, and the tears. It's been a long damn journey and the memories are many and fantastic. Everything we’ve experienced and laughed at together, the big and the small, from being teenage kids to almost growing up.

Your now legendary and unique sayings, your "LGisms", must surely one day find their way into the dictionary. How can you argue against 'Pizza was invented in the late '70s by Turkish people in Bredäng (Sweden)'!

Our thoughts go to your family, and your wider other family - your many friends all around the world. Through everyone you've touched, you live on. We will forever miss you, a member of our family, and we will always keep the good memories with us.

Rest in peace LG.

❤️ Uffe, Nicke & Alex"
