Bobby Ellsworth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth is the longtime lead vocalist for the East Coast thrash metal band Overkill. He was originally a bassist, but became a vocalist when he joined Overkill. He is known for his high-pitched raspy singing voice, and is sometimes compared to power metal vocalists. In 1998, Blitz was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of nose cancer and underwent immediate surgery, thankfully in time to catch the cancer before it spread.
