Daniel Stewart MacMaster (July 11, 1968 – March 16, 2008) was a Canadian singer, who was lead vocalist for the Canadian/British hard rock band Bonham.
Career
With Bonham, he released two albums: 1989's The Disregard of Timekeeping (which peaked at Number 38 on the Billboard charts) and 1992's Mad Hatter. In 2001, Daniel was looking to put a new project together, starting with guitarist Stefano Fantin, and a string of small club dates were performed in the Barrie area, though, due to musical differences, they parted ways. In 2005, Daniel released a solo album entitled Rock Bonham...And The Long Road Back which was re-issued by Suncity Records in 2006.{{cite web|title=DANIEL MACMASTER INTERVIEW|url=http://www.sleazeroxx.com/interviews/macmasterint.shtml|publisher=SleazeRoxx.com|accessdate=July 23, 2012|date=January 25, 2006}} Later, MacMaster started a new project with Connecticut-based singer-songwriter Jimmy D of the band Emerald Monkey, dubbed Monkey-MacMaster. The group was planning on releasing music and playing shows; in addition MacMaster had been working on his own material. However, neither of these projects were completed due to MacMaster's death.
Death
MacMaster died from a Group A streptococcal infection, which he thought was a cold, after developing sepsis, at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, on March 16, 2008.{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=93107 |title=BLABBERMOUTH.NET – DANIEL MACMASTER's Cause Of Death Revealed |publisher=Roadrunnerrecords.com |accessdate=July 23, 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607014515/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=93107 |archivedate=June 7, 2011 }} He was married and had two children, Kaleb and Aryanna.
