Biography

Elis joined Survivor in 1981 to record their second album, Premonition.[1] A year later, they recorded the Grammy winning song "Eye of the Tiger" for the film Rocky III.[1] In 1987, he developed stomach ulcers and was forced to leave the band while he recovered.[1] After leaving Survivor, Ellis and Survivor member Marc Droubay, formed a group called Club M.E.D., who released one album for disbanding.[1] He returned to Survivor in 1996 but left again three years later but returned as a substitute in 2005.[2][3][4] Ellis also played bass on David Glen Eisley’s 2000 album Stranger From the Past and in 2005 produced Samantha Fox's album Angel with an Attitude.[5][6]

Ellis died on February 28, 2019.[5] He was 69.[7][8] His official cause of death was not confirmed but he had dementia.[5] Survivor member Frankie Sullivan called Ellis "a special charm with the fans and within the band" and Jim Peterik said his death "hit me like a shot".[2][9]
