Hawthorne Heights Guitarist Dies Aboard Band’s Tour Bus

Casey Calvert, bassist for the band Hawthorne Heights, was found dead last Friday on the band’s tour bus. There has yet to be any ruling on the cause of death, though it has been reported that Calvert’s asthma played a role.

The band posted the following message on their website the day after.

“Today is probably the worst day ever. Its with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before sound-check. We’ve spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we’re not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don’t contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don’t want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know.

Sincerely,

Hawthorne Heights

Eron, JT, Micah and Matt”

Hawthorne Heights was scheduled to play a show in Atlanta on Monday night, but it was canceled.

Rest in Peace Hawthorne!

Last week had been overall a bad week. From Malibu fire to 3 dead count so far.
