Falling In Reverse guitarist Derek Jones has died at the age of 35, as confirmed by singer Ronnie Radke. A cause of death is pending.
Radke tweeted the news of Jones' passing, writing, “I'll never forget when you picked me up from jail in your old tour van to start Falling In Reverse. Your spirit will be interwoven through the music I write forever. Rest in peace Derek Jones. My heart is broken.”
The message was accompanied by four photos of the late guitarist, who formally joined the band in 2010 and has been featured on all four Falling In Reverse albums. The band's most recent album, Coming Home, was released in 2017.
Falling In Reverse's latest single, “Popular Monster,” came out in November 2019 and is currently Number Two on the rock radio chart.
Jones's fiancée, Christina Cetta, passed away after a battle with cancer last November. After her cancer returned in March 2019, Jones launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $100,000 needed for her treatment. Falling In Reverse gave special shirts to fans who donated.
