April Wine founder Myles Goodwyn has died at the age of 75 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. His death was confirmed by his publicist, Eric Alper, although no other details have been released. In December 2022, Goodwyn announced that he was retiring from the road, after experiencing diabetes-related ill health.
"Although I’m still in the band writing, recording the guys and producing, I am now officially retired from touring," he wrote. "I will miss the shows, the fans and the other bands that have been friends for years, but health reasons have made this decision necessary." Goodwyn's final show with April Wine was on March 2, 2023, at the Roth Eastlink Community Centre in Truro, Nova Scotia.
