Survivor Singer Jimi Jamison Dead

Jimi Jamison, lead singer for the band Survivor, passed away Sunday night at the age of 63. Jamison's booking agent, Sally Irwin, tells TMZ that Jamison died of a heart attack. He had just performed with the band Saturday night in Morgan Hill, CA. 

Beginning with the nationally acclaimed band Target in the 1970s, Jamison continued his rise to stardom with Cobra through the early '80s and in 1983 joined Survivor, who had tasted success with "Eye Of The Tiger". Survivor's first album with Jamison, 1984's 'Vital Signs', achieved multi-platinum status with a string of hit singles that kept Survivor on the charts for over 40 weeks in 1984 and '85. It was their established AOR airplay and Billboard Top 20 hits; "I Can't Hold Back", "High On You" and "The Search Is Over" which reached #2 on the hot 100, that kept Survivor at the top of the record and concert business.
