Legendary American rocker Freddie Salem has died at the age of 70.
The Outlaws guitarist passed away from 'complications due to cancer', his former band confirmed.
... Originally a drummer, Salem switched to the guitar at the age of 15.
The Akron, Ohio born performer was the only musician in his family but credited his love of music to hanging out around the jukebox in his father's bar.
Salem toured with the Rolling Stones at one point with the band, calling the experience 'incomparable'.

Is he the same Outlaws guitarist that was spewing liberal talking points in the 70’s and 80’s?
