The rock world is still reeling from the passing of Static X singer Wayne Static. His wife, Tera Wray, released a statement on the departed musician's Facebook page Monday night to thank people for their support.

A rep for Wayne Static has claimed via a statement that drugs played no part in Static's passing.

Erik Fincher, former guitar tech for Static X and personal friend of Lubbock's Rock Station, took some time to call in and talk with Rooster about our friend Wayne Static and his untimely death.

Former Static-X musicians Koichi Fukuda and Tony Campos have paid tribute to their late bandmate.

I have often wondered why the industrial metal sound of Static-X and their contemporaries didn't take over the world. To me it just seemed to be the logical place for metal to go.  I loved Static-X, The Union Underground, and even lighter fare like Stabbing Westward.  Now the man who truly put his heart and soul into this type of sound is gone leaving us with some stories and a lot of great music.

Many rock and metal musicians have reacted to the death of Wayne Static via social media.

It is with a very heavy heart that I have received confirmation that Wayne Static of Static X was found dead a few hours ago.

Wayne Static is taking his solo band back on the road for a co-headlining tour with Powerman 5000.

Damn, y'all! That was a great show at Jake's last night! Who just woke up? Thank you to EVERYBODY who helped FMX celebrate another kickass birthday. If you missed it, you can check out our photos from the Blast right here.

Wayne Static will play the 'Wisconsin Death Trip' record in its entirety during a run of dates that includes a stop here in the Hub City for part-two of our 33rd birthday celebration.

It's been a good while since we've had a good ol' nasty rock and roll show, and that's exactly what we'll get when Sir Wayne Static brings the Wisconsin Death Trip tour to Lubbock, TX on Friday, April 25.

It seems just like yesterday that I was taking Gunner to school, and I broke out the new Static X 'Wisconsin Death Trip' CD to get his mind right before a hard day at kindergarten. Man, where did those fifteen years go?
