Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Guthro has died at the age of 62 following a battle with cancer.

J.P Cormier, a fellow Cape Breton artist and close friend of the late Guthro, said he heard of his death Wednesday morning after receiving a call from Guthro’s family.

“We knew this was coming, people closest to him,” he said, noting that Guthro had been sick for a few years before conditions worsened over the last month. “He didn’t deserve to go the way he went.”

“We had a conversation just a few weeks ago … he was strong in his faith, and I hope he’s somewhere good.”

Guthro, who was from Cape Breton, N.S., experienced widespread commercial success for his 1998 hit Walk This Road, which reached No. 1 on the Canadian country charts. His album from the same year, Of Your Son, went gold in Canada.

At the peak of his success as a solo artist, Guthro joined Scottish celtic rock band Runrig — and performed as the group’s main vocalist for 25 years.

BBC also confirmed the death on Wednesday morning after speaking with Pete Wishart, a former Runrig bandmate.

“An exceptional singer, musician and song writer taken far too soon. We are going to miss him,” Wishart told the BBC.

Cormier said Guthro “virtually had three careers”, referring to the wide range of musical roles he played in different regions throughout the years.

“The whole concept of the song circle in this country was virtually invented by him and there’s no way to measure how that affected all of us,” he said, adding that he’s been involved in several of Guthro’s popular songwriting events himself.

I can’t express how sad I am at news of the passing of the musical legend #BruceGuthro. We meet lots of people in life, he was one of the best.

Tributes poured in from local musicians and public figures alike, including words shared from Halifax Mayor Mike Savage on social media.

“I can’t express how sad I am at news of the passing of musical legend Bruce Guthro,” Savage said. “Talented, dedicated and the best of company who truly cared about people.”

Guthro’s contributions as frontman saw the band’s 2007 album Everything You See achieve enormous success, selling millions of copies and going platinum in Denmark.

“The band retired in 2018 to a sold-out European tour, closing with two shows in Scotland to an audience of over 50,000 enthusiastic fans,” read a blurb from Guthro’s official website.

Despite spending half of his 40-year professional career touring through Europe, Guthro, who released seven albums as a solo artist, remained true to his Nova Scotian roots as he continued to reside in the province.

Over the past decade, he captivated audiences throughout Atlantic Canada by offering a unique spin to live performances under the “Bruce Guthro Songwriter Circle” umbrella, which saw the acclaimed artist share the stage with many of the region’s top performers.

Cormier described Guthro as somebody who was “never off”.

“It didn’t matter who it was, I watched him so many times interact with complete strangers like he knew them all their lives, and welcome them into a jam session, a camp site,” he said.

“He just loved music and people.”
