White Sister / Tattoo Rodeo Guitarist Rick Chadock Passes Away

It is with sadness that we inform you of the passing of Rick Chadock, who passed away this morning at 12:40am, after a battle with cancer.

Rick Chadock played in the original line up for  White Sister, and after internal problems within the band, he formed along with White Sister vocalist Dennis Churchill-Dries the second evolution of the band, Tattoo Rodeo. Fans will recall the success of Tattoo Rodeo’s “Rode Hard – Put Away Wet” album of 1991.

He then joined the reformed White Sister over 20 years after the initial split and they began performing again to critical acclaim.

UK Fans will always remember their performance at 2009’s “Firefest V” melodic rock festival fondly.

RIP Rick Chadock, you will be sadly missed.

    Dennis :-))

    It is yahu pawul – your old friend " janski" (how Rick called me) of Gary Novotny Glendale floor refinishing work.

    Hard to hear Rick is no longer with us – I liked this guy soooo much when worked with you at Novotnys Refinishing – Glendale. Still remember you srong guys and love your Tattoo Rodeo music close to 20 years.

    All the best to you Dennis, your wife and kids (grown up now 🙂 and say a word by the way to Rick Family of me – I'm very sad, because part of my memories died together with Rick.
