Your support makes all the difference.Kyle Pavone, the lead singer of metalcore band We Came as Romans, has died aged 28.
A statement from the band posted to their social media accounts announced Pavone's death on Saturday, stating: “Today music lost another great with the passing of Kyle Pavone of We Came as Romans. Kyle’s tragic loss came too early in his life and those of his bandmates. All are devastated by his passing."
"We will miss his smiles, his sincerity, his concern for others, and his impressive musical talent. The family and the band wish to thank their fans and the music community for all of their love and support as they navigate their grief."
We Came as Romans, often abbreviated as WCAR, formed in 2005 in Troy, Michigan, originally under the name "The Emergency". The line-up has changed multiple times since then, with Pavone coming on board as a vocalist in mid-2008, after the release of their first EP.
Fellow musicians have paid tribute to Pavone. Christian "CC" Coma, the drummer for Black Veil Brides, said: " I will always remember the big smiles and warm greetings whenever we would run into each other. You will be missed but our memories of great times will live on."
DJ Kayzo, real name Hayden Capuozzo, wrote on Twitter: "In the short time I had the pleasure of knowing him he was truly a creative and I loved working with him on our song. Condolences to his friends, family and bandmates."
The cause of death has not been stated.
