Bruce Guthro, one of Cape Breton’s most well-known troubladours whose remarkable 40-year career made waves on both sides of the North Atlantic, has died.
Guthro passed away on Tuesday evening after a battle with cancer. He had just celebrated his 62nd birthday on Aug. 31.
He leaves behind his wife, Kim Anderson-Guthro, two children, Jodi and Dylan Guthro, as well as many family and friends.
