Lou Koller, the frontman for Sick of It All, has died. 
The singer had been battling adenocarcinoma cancer. 
In June 2024, the singer said that doctors had found a tumor in his esophagus that went into his stomach, and that he would have to pause touring to undergo treatment. 
In their statement, the group acknowledged those who donated to Lou’s medical fund as he fought the disease. 
“His battle is over now and he can finally rest,” they wrote. 
“Hopefully he can somehow still see and feel the beautiful, positive mark he left on the world.”
