Chelsea Lauren/WireImageFalling in Reverse guitarist Derek Jones has died at age 35.
Frontman Ronnie Radke revealed the news late Tuesday night in an Instagram post.
“I’ll never forget when you picked me up from jail in your old tour van to start Falling in Reverse,” Radke wrote. “Your spirit will be interwoven through the music I write forever. Rest In Peace Derek Jones. My heart is broken.”
Jones, who joined Falling in Reverse in 2010, plays one every one of the band’s four albums, including their latest effort, 2017’s Coming Home.
Last fall, Falling in Reverse canceled their U.S. tour due to Jones’ fiancée, Christina Cetta, battling cancer. She died in November.
Falling in Reverse’s most recent release is a “reimagined” version of the “The Drug in Me Is You,” the title track off their 2011 debut album. The group’s single “Popular Monster” currently sits at number two on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Songs chart.
