I've never had a celebrity I like die before.

When I opened my phone to that name being the headline, my stomach dropped.

One of my favorite bands would never be the same.

Dead at 31, my brain couldn't fathom just how young that was. How short his life had been.

It makes me think about just how unpredictable everything can be.

A father, a son, a _friend— _ripped away from the people he loved.

How cruel a world, to drive someone to this point.

How cruel a god— if one even exists— to let this man perish.

Rest in peace, Liam. Your music lives on forever.
