Alan Merrill (born Allan Preston Sachs; February 19, 1951) is an American vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, actor and model. In the early 1970s Merrill was the first westerner to achieve pop star status in Japan. He is the lead singer of the first ever released version and co-author of the song "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" by the Arrows in 1975. Using only the above description and what you know about the world, "Alan Merrill unfortunately didn't live to celebrate his 22nd birthday" is definitely correct, incorrect, or inconclusive?
