据台湾媒体报道，艾伦·梅里尔（Alan Merrill）是英国知名乐队“Arrows”的主唱兼贝斯手，曾在1975年凭借一首《I Love Rock N Roll（我爱摇滚乐）》轰动英国乐坛。On March 29, news came that he had died of illness and was 69 years old. His daughter Laura Merrill also posted a sad document confirming that day,"This morning, COVID-19 took my father away."

Laura Merrill issued a document on March 27 confirming that her father had died of COVID-19. She revealed that she was lucky that she had two minutes to say goodbye to her father this morning."He seemed very calm. When I left, there was still a ray of hope, but when I returned home, I received news that he was not there." Due to the severity of the epidemic, Alan Merrill's family has not been able to hold a funeral for him for the time being, and Laura had to undergo a 14-day quarantine because she saw her father for the last time.

Not long after, Alan Merrill's friend and Hong Kong musician Anders Nelsson also posted an article confirming the bad news,"Maybe many people are not familiar with this name. He wrote the classic song" I Love Rock NRoll "." The song was written by the band Arrows in 1975 and was covered by famous stars such as Elvis Presley and Britney Spears.

Alan Merrill just posted a post on social networking sites not long ago, calling on relatives and friends to stay healthy. He has loved music all his life. He also performed publicly in New York in early March, but now he has died of COVID-19, which makes all his relatives and friends sad.
