A native of Solothurn, Switzerland, Dani Crivelli played in bands Killer, and Ain't Dead Yet (the latter with fellow Krokus members Many Maurer and Tony Castell) before joining Krokus in 1987.



Dani joined Krokus to replace Jeff Klaven. He appeared on the group's 1988 album 'Heart Attack' then embarked on a tour with the group that included North America.



Directly after the tour that lineup of Krokus split, with Marc Storace and Fernando Von Arb leaving, while Dani Crivelli participated in a new lineup that was short-lived and produced no new material. Dani and Krokus parted ways in 1989.



Dani Crivelli died on Sunday, April 21 when he fell from a bridge in Trimbach, Canton of Solothurn.
