Phil McCormack, the lead singer for Jacksonville-based rock band Molly Hatchet, has died at 58.

His band members confirmed his death on Saturday afternoon.

The Roadducks, a Virginia-based rock band that McCormack frequently performed with, also confirmed the death on social media on Saturday.

The Official Molly Hatchet website describes the band as becoming a Southern rock music legend in the late 1970's. Playing a mixture of English invasion rock, blues, country and gospel, they toured with other big-name bands such as Aerosmith, Bob Seger, The Rolling Stones and many more, their website says.
