Le chanteur de POWER TRIP, Riley Gale, est décédé. Sa mort a été annoncée dans un communiqué publié par sa famille. Il n'avait que 34 ans..
«Chers fans de POWER TRIP du monde entier», lit-on dans le communiqué. «C'est avec la plus grande tristesse que nous devons vous annoncer que notre chanteur et frère Riley Gale est décédé hier soir.
"Riley était un ami, un frère, un fils. Riley était à la fois une rock star plus grande que nature et un ami humble et généreux. Il a touché tant de vies à travers ses paroles et son immense cœur. Il traitait tous ceux qu'il rencontrait comme des amis, et il prenait toujours soin de ses amis.
«Nous célébrerons la vie de Riley et n'oublierons jamais les grandes contributions en musique, et d'amour qu'il a laissées derrière lui. Vous, les fans, avez tellement compté pour lui, sachez à quel point vous êtes spéciaux.
«Si vous avez un souvenir de Riley, partagez-le, aussi petit soit-il, comme nous nous souvenons de lui.
"Veuillez respecter nos souhaits de confidentialité pendant cette période.
«Au lieu de fleurs, veuillez envoyer des dons à Dallas Hope Charities, le lien pour faire un don directement est ici.
"Signé, la famille aimante de Rlley

So sad to hear of Riley Gale’s passing. I only had the good fortune of meeting him once, but he had a way of making you feel like you’d known him forever, instantly. Such a profound loss. Love and deepest sympathies to @powertriptx and everyone close to him.

We are in complete shock.
Riley and the PT family have ALWAYS been welcoming and kind to us, from day one. Our community lost genuinely one of the nicest, most fun loving souls I have ever encountered. Tell your friends and family you love them, even the ones you don’t talk to. https://t.co/AGbc7fHiLR— Harm's Way (@harmsxway) August 26, 2020

One of the best parts about touring is getting to hang on days off with the bands we tour with, the crew, and our friends from all over the world. #RIPRiley pic.twitter.com/FZYF4dQQC6
