The deceased body of Ra Ra Riot drummer, John Pike, was found in Massachusetts over the weekend. The 23-year-old went missing in the early morning of June 2 after attending a party in Fairhaven.

The night prior the up and coming band performed at the Living Room in Providence, RI. His body was found in the waters of Buzzard's Bay by local police, less than a mile from the party.

Whether the band will find a replacement or cancel their remaining shows (which includes an August tour supporting Tokyo Police Club) is yet to be announced. Ra Ra Riot's self-titled debut EP is scheduled to be released by The Rebel Group on July 10.
