In Memoriam: Cheetah Chrome
The RockGodz Hall of Fame is deeply saddened by the passing of Cheetah Chrome (Eugene Richard O’Connor), legendary guitarist, songwriter, and pioneering force in punk rock.
Best known for his groundbreaking work with The Dead Boys and Rocket From the Tombs, Cheetah helped define a sound and attitude that influenced generations of musicians. His unmistakable guitar work, raw energy, and uncompromising spirit earned him a lasting place in rock ’n’ roll history.
Cheetah was scheduled to be inducted into the RockGodz Hall of Fame on November 7, 2026, in Las Vegas. While we are heartbroken that he will not be with us to accept this honor, his induction will proceed posthumously, celebrating the music, influence, and legacy he leaves behind.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, bandmates, fellow musicians, and fans around the world.
Legends never die. Their music keeps them with us. Rest in Rock ’n’ Roll, Cheetah Chrome.
