LOS ANGELES (AP) â Robert Lucas, who until recently fronted the blues rock band Canned Heat and was known for his barrelhouse vocals, died Sunday at a friendâs home in Long Beach, Calif. He was 46.
The cause was an apparent drug overdose, his former manager Skip Taylor said.
Beginning in 1994, Mr. Lucas, one of four frontmen for Canned Heat over the years, had two stints as lead singer, harmonica and bottleneck guitar player for the band.
Canned Heat, a Los Angeles blues and boogie band, was formed in 1965 and had hits like âGoing Up the Countryâ and âOn the Road Again.â Mr. Lucas recently left the band to pursue his solo career. He wrote and recorded seven solo albums.
He also performed with Big Joe Turner, Eddie Vinson and Percy Mayfield.
Mr. Lucas is survived by his parents, a sister and a teenage son.
