Recurring Health Issues
Algy Ward, the founder and lead singer of the famous British heavy metal band Tank, has di*d at the age of 63, after having repeated health problems.
Tucker who is the old band mate of Algy Ward, said that soon after he joined Tank in 1983, he and Ward became a strong musical team. Along with Nicky Moore, who joined the band in 1990, they kept making records together.
“Over the last couple of years we had to carry on without him but hoped one day we could get him back onstage with us,” he said. “A glass will be raised tonight in your honour…”
Fans were very upset when they heard the sad news. They said that Ward’s deαth was a “huge loss” for the bands he was in. Ward’s family hasn’t said anything about his funeral or whether or not they will hold a farewell service.

Algy Ward’s Impactful Music Career
Algy Ward was born on July 11th, 1959, in Croydon. When the punk band The Saints moved to London in 1977, Ward was there to help them conquer the music industry. As a result, he was able to join the band and contribute to their 1978 album Eternally Yours and their big singles “Know Your Product” and “This Perfect Day.”
Ward, however, was able to continue his career after the band’s 1979 dissolution when he was offered the role of bassist for The Damned beginning with the recording of their third album, “Machine Gun Etiquette.”
He formed Tank in 1980 with guitarist Peter Brabbs and drummer Mark Brabbs, and the band issued its first album, “Filth Hounds of Hades,” the following year. The band broke up in 1989 after failing to achieve the same level of success as Ward’s previous bands.
Ward, who had previously reformed the band in 1997 with Tucker, Evans, and Bruce Bisland, continued to release songs under the band’s name after the split, beginning with the “Still at War” return project in 2002.
Ward collaborated with his friend Evo of Warfare on the six-song EP “Damned Unto Deαth” that was released under the name EVO/ALGY. The Tank’s eighth studio album, “Sturmpanzer,” which he contributed to, was released in November of 2018.
