LifeHazard was the son of an opera singer.[1] He grew up in Springfield Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Springfield High School in 1966. He was profiled in a 1981 Rolling Stone article by Kurt Loder. In the piece, Loder describes Hazard's musical history as a musician "... who started out as a Dylan-era folkie, then spent eight years singing country & western. 'I just love country music,' he explains — which of course explains nothing, least of all the two years he subsequently spent with a reggae band ... or his current electro-pop approach, which owes little to any of the above".[8] His final recordings were country albums, beginning with The Seventh Lake (2003) and continuing with Blue Mountain (2004). In 2007, Rykodisc signed Hazard and released his album, Troubador.[2] Death and familyHazard died only 16 days before his 60th birthday at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on August 5, 2008, after surgery for pancreatic cancer, with which he had recently been diagnosed. He was living with his wife and two sons, Remington and Rex, near Old Forge, New York, at the time of his death. He also is survived by a daughter.[2] Discography
