Over the years, Kennedy played bass on I Killed The Prom Queen’s When Goodbye Means Forever, Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You EP and Music for the Recently Deceased. Along with playing bass in I Killed The Prom Queen, Sean Kennedy was also the bassist for Deez Nuts since 2014.

On Tuesday, however, I Killed The Prom Queen vocalist Michael Crafter announced Kennedy passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 23. At this time, the cause of death has not been disclosed.

“For years we stood side by side on stage or in band photos,” Crafter says on Instagram. “We slept on floors, in vans, planes and somehow managed to tour the world. Time went way to fast. We experienced highs and lows on the road and after all we went through, you will always be my friend. As the years passed us by I’m glad we’ve always been there for each other. When I called you last week I didn’t think it would be the last. I wish I could say goodbye. Love and will always miss you mate. Rest In Peace Sean Kennedy 24/6/1985 – 23/2/2021.”
