156/Silence pays tribute to late bass player in emotional statement
Regarding the death of their bandmate, bassist Lukas Booker on March 29th, 156/Silence has issued an official statement. The band has stated that they want to fulfill their current concert commitments in addition to expressing their sorrow over the loss and asking their fans to donate to the GoFundMe set up by his family for his last costs.
Yesterday afternoon we were devastated to learn of the passing of our brother, dear friend, and beloved bandmate Lukas Booker. Anyone that knew Lukas knew how kind, selfless, and genuine he was. He would watch every band, mosh before our set, and still had enough energy to put it all out there on stage. No matter where he was he was just happy to be there. He lived for music and his smile was infectious. In many ways he was the heart of 156, and the world is a darker place without him. His light will be immensely and immeasurably missed.
In his honor we will be continuing on with our scheduled shows. His family has also organized a gofundme if anyone is willing and able to donate I know they would greatly appreciate it.
We love you so much Lukas. You were supposed to be here for the whole ride, buddy. We were supposed to conquer the world together.
We’ll see you soon brother.
