Bassist Lukas Booker van 156/Silence is helaas overleden. Dit nieuws is onder meer naar buiten gebracht door zijn oudere zus Brittany die onder andere een crowdfunding is gestart voor de kosten van de begrafenis. Zijn bandleden hebben ook gereageerd op dit tragische nieuws.
De band zegt het volgende over het verlies:
Yesterday afternoon we were devastated to learn of the passing of our brother, dear friend, and beloved bandmate Lukas Booker. Anyone that knew Lukas knew how kind, selfless, and genuine he was. He would watch every band, mosh before our set, and still had enough energy to put it all out there on stage. No matter where he was he was just happy to be there. He lived for music and his smile was infectious. In many ways he was the heart of 156, and the world is a darker place without him. His light will be immensely and immeasurably missed.
In his honor we will be continuing on with our scheduled shows. His family has also organized a gofundme if anyone is willing and able to donate I know they would greatly appreciate it.
We love you so much Lukas. You were supposed to be here for the whole ride, buddy. We were supposed to conquer the world together.
We’ll see you soon brother.

Hello, my name is Brittany. I’m the oldest sister of Lukas Booker. We are asking for help to put my brother to rest. He passed away today suddenly and did not have life insurance. He was a great man and a wonderful light that made the world brighter. He would do anything for anyone that needed him. He absolutely loved his family, the band he played in, and his friends. Please help if you can, all donations will be given to his father, Maurice Booker. We appreciate all of you!
