Allen Blickle (formerly of Baroness) has passed away

Alan Blickle, the former Baroness drummer, tragically seems to have died, as reported from theprp. Blickle remained with the band until about 2013, playing in their first official lineup. While on tour in Europe in August 2012, Blickle and a number of other band members were involved in a bus accident that resulted in fractured bones. Blickle left the band shortly after. Blickle was also a member of the bands Alpaca, A Place To Bury Strangers, and Romantic Dividends. Although his former Baroness bandmates don’t seem to have made any public remarks regarding his loss, some of his friends—including Laura Pleasants of Kylesa—have taken to social media to honor him.
