Nazareth singer Dan McCafferty dies aged 76
BBC Music Correspondent
He remained with the band until 2014, when he developed a lung condition that made it hard to breathe and was forced to retire."This is the saddest announcement I ever had to make," Agnew wrote on Instagram. By 1970, the band had tired of covers and decided to pursue a career as a rock band in their own right.
Their first two albums, Nazareth and Exercises, weren't big-sellers, but they did well enough to land an American tour with rock giants Deep Purple. The band's bassist Roger Glover was a fan, and agreed to produce their next record, 1973's Razamanaz. But it was the following year's Hair of the Dog that established Nazareth as an internationally popular band, with the title track becoming a staple of 1970s rock radio.
