DX Band lead singer Chris Warren, who famously credited for the Attitude Era's D-generation X "Break It Down" theme song, passes away at 49.
As reported by WWE, Warren's screeching voice and his distressed rendition of WWE theme song "Break It Down" remains one of the sports entertainment's best wrestling themes. The famed rock band artist also performed in a number of notable crowd-packed WWE live events such as WrestleMania XIV and SummerSlam 1998.
Warren was also credited for his collaborative work with WWE composer Jim Johnston on Sean "X-Pac" Waltman's theme "Make Some Noise." He also lent his rebellious yet energizing vocals to Triple H's solo theme "My Time."
Despite being credited for a number of well-received WWE themes, Warren was also heavily criticized for his "America the Beautiful" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" renditions that WWE was forced to edit the home video release and the WWE Network Archives of the said event, Wrestling News Source reported.
A number of wrestling pros has already sent their condolences via Twitter. With Chris Warren's music, wrestling entertainment has become even more fun and exciting experience.
"I'd like to think we had the best entrance in Wrestling because of Chris Warren. Very sad to learn he passed. RIP," Sean Waltman tweeted.
His funeral will take place this weekend in Long Island, New York where the rock artist was born. As per PW Mania, the statement on his obituary reads,
