RIP: Slipknot Bassist Paul Gray Is Found Dead

Hey Everyone!

Sad news... yesterday, Slipknot bassist Paul Gray was found in his hotel room yesterday morning in Urbandale, Iowa. According to priliminary reports, there were no signs of foul play or trauma. Toxicology reports have been ordered. He is survived by his wife, Brenna, who is currently pregnant with their first child. So tragic...

Paul Gray was only 38 years old at the time of his death. Seems like everyone is getting younger and younger... and to be expecting a child? That must be very rough to deal with... At least the child will grow up knowing that their father was a great musician with a large fan base. A lot of people really respect the work he did. I know thats no where NEAR close to knowing your father, but I guess in times like this its important to take comfort where you can, right?

Rest In Peace Paul, you will never be forgotten.

Rock On,
