PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) A local rock legend, Lawrence Zubia, died Saturday morning.Â
Zubia, who was the lead singer of the Pistoleros, died after months of battling chronic pancreatitis. Zubia and the Pistoleros are members of the Arizona Music Hall of Fame after decades of playing rock n roll across the Valley. The band was inducted in July of 2019.
After the group had formed, originally called The Chimeras, the band signed with Hollywood Records in 1996 and had to change their name because another band had previously claimed it. So after three years into their band life, they became known as the Pistoleros.Â
