Former Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds has passed away after a motorcycle crash.
Reports from the United States early this morning revealed that the metal icon was involved in a serious accident, with sources stating that his motorcycle was in a collision with an SUV. Mastodon has now issued an official statement confirming that their friend and former band member died at the age of 51.
The statement expresses:
“We are experiencing an unimaginable sadness and sorrow… last night Brent Hinds passed away due to a tragic accident. We are devastated, shocked, and still attempting to come to terms with the loss of this creative force with whom we’ve shared countless successes, milestones, and the creation of music that has resonated with so many. Our thoughts are with Brent’s family, friends, and fans. We kindly ask that everyone respects privacy during this challenging time. Rest in peace, Brent.”
Brent Hinds co-founded Mastodon over 25 years ago, helping them rise to be one of the leading and most talented metal bands in the world. With a unique catalog in contemporary heavy music, Mastodon has embraced innovative concepts while remaining firmly connected to their origins.
The guitarist was instrumental in this evolution before departing from the American band in March.
