Children Of Bodom’s frontman Alexi Laiho has passed away.
The musician died at his home in Helsinki, Finland, last week at the age of 41, having “suffered from long-term health issues during his last years”. A cause of death has not been revealed.
“We are crushed by the sudden passing of our dear friend and band member” says Alexi’s bandmates Daniel Freyberg, Mitja Toivonen and Waltteri Väyrynen. “Words cannot describe this shock and the profound sadness that we feel.”
Alexi’s sister adds “We are all absolutely shocked and devastated. We ask for privacy and understanding during these hard times. My little brother’s funeral will take place privately.”
Kelli Wright-Laiho, Alexi’s wife, said “Alexi was the most loving and magnificent husband and father. Our hearts are eternally broken”
