In a heartfelt statement released on September 27th, shock rock legends GWAR have paid tribute to their co-founder, Chuck Varga, who passed away after a battle with cancer. Known to fans as The Sexecutioner, Varga was instrumental in shaping the band’s unique visual style and theatrical performances.

GWAR expressed their sorrow, stating, “There are some losses that hit harder than others. The world lost Chuck Varga a few days ago, and GWAR lost one of its own.” His contributions went beyond just performance; Varga’s artistic vision and costume designs were foundational in creating the chaotic and grotesque world that fans have come to love.

Varga’s legacy as a performer and artist will forever be remembered, as he helped establish GWAR’s larger-than-life mythology. The band also acknowledged the personal loss felt by those who knew him, saying, “For those of us who knew Chuck, he was more than a character in a monster suit; he was a true performer and a brother.”

As fans mourn the loss of this iconic figure, GWAR encourages everyone to remember the joy and creativity he brought to the world. Hail Chuck Varga!
