THE BEAST

Sad news in the metal world today: Jon Rossi of Rhode Island doom band   Pilgrim   has passed away. He was just 26. No cause of death has been given at this point.

Pilgrim have yet to post the news themselves, but fellow doom band   Devil   wrote:

The world has lost a wizard.

We are very sorry to hear about the passing of Jon Rossi of Pilgrim. We crossed paths a couple of times, and a more humble and kind soul you won’t come across often.

Our deepest condolances to Jon’s family, friends and his brothers in Pilgrim.
Rest in Peace, Wizard. The pilgrimage has just begun.

Pilgrim just played the   Providence stop   of   The Obsessed and Cobalt’s tour   two days ago (10/25). You can watch a video from the show below. Last week, they   cancelled   their European tour.

Rest in peace, Jon. You’ll be missed. Via BrooklynVegan

I never got to meet him in person but he was one of the first interviews i did for my radio show check this out from 2014! Back then i remember being very nervous about doing interviews but The Wizard was such a cool down to earth dude he made me feel comfortable right away, rest in peace brother!
