Our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Snare family, Katherine Little, friends, and all our beloved fans all over the world. 'Reach for the Sky' CJ! You will be forever missed by family, friends, fans and your band mates. You're singing with the angels now."
In September of 2020, CJ was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. His initial prognosis was grim, but that didn't stop him. We went for a second opinion and in September of 2021, he had a life-saving operation that gave him these last years with his family. He was so incredibly positive during this whole disease.
FIREHOUSE hasn't released a studio album since 2011's "Full Circle", which featured re-recorded versions of some of the band's older songs. The group's last collection of new material, "Prime Time", came out in 2003.
