Everything hurts and it's been hard finding the right words while dealing with feelings ranging from complete heartbreak to remorse. It hasn't fully sunk in yet, but I'm glad I got to spend some of the best years of my life by your side, as a bandmate and a friend. RIP, P. dogg. 😔

RIP Patrick Doyle. Here's a pic of a wonderful day we had in LA this past Sept. I'm just really sorry. I've known him for many years but only started to get to know him as a good friend. I hope I see him in the next dimension when it's my time. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/itV3XpK6BC
