Det svenske metalband Soilwork har på deres facebookside offentliggjort et statement hvori de fortæller at deres guitarist David Andersson er gået bort.
David Andersson blev guitarist i Soilwork i 2012, og samme år dannede han The Nightflight Orchestra med Soilwork sanger Björn Strid. De to havde under en tour diskuteret hvad “classic” begrebet dækkede over fra både musik til fiktive historier. Og Nightflight Orchestra blev deres take på et soundtrack til alt der var “classic”.
Soilwork skriver på deres facebook væg:
“We are deeply saddened today, as we bring the terrible news of David Andersson‘s passing. He was one of a kind and a brilliant man in so many ways. He was our guitarist for more than 10 years and had a big impact on SOILWORK‘s musical journey forward. Sadly alcohol and mental illness took you away from us. We will miss him dearly and will continue to carry the musical legacy that he was a part of. Our deepest condolences goes out to his family. Forever grateful for the time we spent with you and all the good laughs. Thank you Dr. Dave. See you on the other side.”
David Andersson blev kun 47 år gammel.
