His widow was not named in local media but one band member who paid tribute on social media said: "You had such a big heart that you carried love in your very name.

"And that's how we will always remember you. Thank you for everything you always did for us, for all the shows, for every moment, every laugh shared, and even for the hardships we went through together. You will never be forgotten, brother. We will always carry you in our hearts."
