HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sebastian Bach
Sebastian Bach was a heavy metal singer and songwriter who was best known as former lead vocalist for the band, Skid Row. After joining the group (in 1987), he helped contribute to their most popular singles like “18 & Life”, “Youth Gone Wild”, and today’s song choice.
