It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Vixen founder and lead guitarist, Jan Kuehnemund, who lost a fierce battle with cancer on Thursday, October 10, 2013. Though most well known for her gifted guitar playing and other musical talents, Jan was a rare friend and beautiful in every sense of the word. Humble, thoughtful, loyal and kind, she was the most gracious of women, possessing the quiet strength of a true warrior. She genuinely loved and appreciated her friends and fans more than most could ever know. Those who were most fortunate to have known her and loved her are heartbroken at the loss of Jan, whose spirit will shine through her music eternally.
Membesar di zaman 80an, dizaman apa yang dipanggil sebagai hair metal atau glam metal, siapa lah yang tak jatuh hati dengan petikan gitar dan wajah manis Jan Kuehnemund. Satu-satunya nama gitarist wanita yang aku boleh ingat dan sentiasa akan ingat dari zaman tersebut dah tentu-tentunya adalah beliau. (okey...mungkin seorang lagi Jan...Jannifer Batten)
Menariknya rockers wanita pada zaman tersebut seperti Jan dan Vixen. Mereka ni bukanlah jenis yang menjual body dan rupa. Takdernya mereka nak pakai baju baju seksi macam artis-artis wanita zaman sekarang. Mereka adalah real rocker dan sememangnya sangat berbakat.
