Wayne Static died on Nov. 1, 2014. I was unaware of this, but I just looked to see if he had a tour going or coming up, and I saw the news. He died 3 days before his 49th birthday.
I'm really stunned.
I went to hundreds of hard rock/alternative/metal concerts in my teen years. I've seen Static X at least 5 times. I was very sad to hear the news. Lots of musicians over dosing and leaving before their time.
