You’ll be in every note I sing and every step I take on stage. The cross you gave me is the most precious thing I own.

I’m truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time.”

I want to send love to them and to all of us fans who owe him everything. He had one of the most distinctive voices ever, impossible to copy. He helped create the very concept of heavy metal, changing music forever.
He was fearless, always chasing his path, and turned it into this aggressive, beautiful sound that will keep shaping generations.
I’m so grateful for everything he did for me, for metal, and for music as a whole. That final show was deeply emotional. He sang so well, defying expectations from those who didn’t think he’d ever be on stage again. And now he’s gone. He’s a true legend, someone we’ll never forget."
