Bruce Guthro Has Died

Bruce Guthro, a legendary singer-songwriter from Cape Breton, has died.  His friend and colleague Dave Gunning confirmed that he died Tuesday at the age of 62.

Bruce was the lead vocalist for the Scottish Celtic rock band Runrig from 1998 until 2018, and also had a successful solo career in Nova Scotia, earning several East Coast Music Awards.  In July, he posted to social media that he would be taking a break from performing due to health concerns.

Pete Wishart, Bruce’s former bandmate, described him online as “an exceptional singer, musician and songwriter taken far too soon.”

Tributes to the singer-songwriter continue to be shared on social media.
