Lajon Witherspoon
Lajon Witherspoon (born October 3, 1972 in Nashville, Tennessee) is the vocalist for the Atlanta-based alternative metal band Sevendust. He is known for being one of few African-American singers in modern rock/metal music. Members from such bands as Staind, Seether and Diecast have listed Lajon and Sevendust as musical influences.
Tragedy struck on November 10th, 2002 when Lajon's brother, Reginald Witherspoon, was killed. Lajon heard the news via a phone call from his father five minutes before the band's performance in Minnesota. The singer was urged to go on with the show by his father, and those who attended the show appreciated the shaken Witherspoon going through with the scheduled performance. Afterwards, Witherspoon immediately left to attend to family matters. Lajon does have one remaining brother named James, who is a security officer in Lewiston, Maine.
In March 2008, Lajon was recognized in Hit Parader magazine as one of the "Top 100 Rock Vocalists of All Time". He was awarded number 35, placing over numerous famous rock vocalists such as Bret Michaels, Scott Weiland, Rod Stewart, and David Bowie.
He recently had a baby Girl on June 27th.
