Wayne Static Dead at 48
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.
At 10:07 this evening an official announcement was posted to Wayne's official Twitter feed announcing his death.
At this time there are very few details. As information becomes available I will post an update.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Wayne's family and the rest of his friends.
RIP my friend, you will be missed!
