Ray Gillen’s Grave is at Fairview Cemetery, New Jersey. Ray Gillen (1959–1993), the powerhouse vocalist best known for Badlands and his mid-’80s stint with Black Sabbath. He died in New York on 1 December 1993 from an AIDS-related disease, and is buried at Fairview Cemetery in the borough of Fairview, Bergen County. The grave is a modest, ground-level marker regularly visited by fans; photo documentation and memorial listings confirm the location.

Born in New York City and raised in Cliffside Park, Gillen cut two albums with Badlands (1989, 1991) and recorded with Sabbath during the “Seventh Star” era before health issues curtailed his career. He remains a cult favourite for his range and blues-steeped delivery.
