Both members of Liverpool band Her’s have died following a fatal car crash in Arizona on Wednesday.
Stephen Fitzpatrick, 24, and Audun Laading, 25, and tour manager Trevor Engelbrektson, were killed while travelling to a gig, their record label Heist or Hit have said.
Only days ago, the band had been featured on BBC Music Introducing. They were touring North America for the second time, having released their debut album, and were playing 19 shows including SXSW. Watch their performance below.
The label wrote on Facebook: “We are all heartbroken. Their energy, vibrancy and talent came to define our label.
“As humans, they were warm, gentle and hilarious. Each time they stopped by the office made for an uplifting experience.” See the full post below.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety said it was investigating a crash on Interstate 10 at 01:00 local time (08:00 GMT) on Wednesday, but could not confirm the identity of four people killed.
A spokesman said the release of information about the crash would be delayed as a result of “almost all evidence being lost in the fire”.
“The bodies are not identifiable and we are relying on the Medical Examiner’s office to help with positive identification,” added the spokesman.
