Bruce Guthro, best known for being the singer in Scottish band Runrig, has died aged 62.<\/p>\n

Guthro\u2019s death was confirmed in a heartbreaking statement by his bandmate Pete Wishart who said the late rockstar had been \u2018taken too soon\u2019.<\/p>\n

Wishart said: \u2018He was just the nicest person you could ever hope to meet and a joy to perform with. An exceptional singer, musician and song writer taken far too soon. We are going to miss him.\u2019<\/p>\n

Canadian-born Guthro joined Runrig in 1998 and stayed with the band until 2018, when Runrig stopped performing.<\/p>\n

According to the BBC, Wishart added on BBC Radio Scotland\u2019s Drivetime programme: \u2018We\u2019ve lost a friend, but we will never to hear this wonderful voice singing voice live again.\u2019<\/p>\n

Guthro confirmed he was battling health issues on social media in July.<\/p>\n

As a result, he was forced to cancel live performances.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Runrig paid tribute to their legion of fans as they brought down the curtain on 45 years of performing.<\/p>\n

Guthro\u00a0said at the time: \u2018I think we\u2019re ready. I think we\u2019re very proud of what we\u2019ve accomplished and we\u2019re ready to give Scotland the show of a lifetime.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Canadian, who toured with Runrig for 20 years, added of his time with the group: \u2018All of it has been special. It\u2019s almost impossible to pick certain highlights \u2013 it\u2019s just been a great journey.<\/p>\n

\u2018The fans are are a family unto themselves and they are without question the driving force behind this band.\u2019<\/p>\n

Since forming on Skye in 1973, Runrig produced 14 studio albums and performed at Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Albert Hall and in New York\u2019s Times Square.<\/p>\n

They are hailed for their contribution to Scottish music, the Gaelic language and Scotland\u2019s cultural identity.<\/p>\n

Guthro\u2019s last Instagram post, shared in July, was of a beautiful sunrise.<\/p>\n

He captioned his photo: \u2018Morning Coffee?\u2019<\/p>\n
