Myles Goodwyn, a singer, songwriter and guitarist for the Canadian classic rock group April Wine, died in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Sunday. He was 75.
His death was announced on social media by Eric Alper, his publicist, who did not provide a cause.
April Wine formed in late 1969 in Nova Scotia with Mr. Goodwyn, brothers David Henman on guitar and Ritchie Henman on drums, and Jimmy Henman, their cousin, on bass. Not long after forming they moved to Montreal.
“Fast Train,” was the band’s first hit, from its self-titled debut album in 1971. Success in the United States took longer: in 1978, it scored its first American Top 40 hit, “Roller.”
