Actor Pierce Brosnan has paid tribute to late the indie duo Her’s, days after the pair and their tour manager were killed in a car crash during a tour of the U.S.
Stephen Fitzpatrick, 24, and Audun Laading, 25, and tour manager Trevor Engelbrektson, were killed while travelling to through Arizona for a gig on Wednesday (March 27th), according to a statement released by the pair’s label, Heist Or Hit.
Now, the 65-year-old James Bond star has shared an emotional tribute post to the duo.
It comes after the actor learned from Paris, Brosnan’s 18-year-old son, that Laading and Fitzpatrick were big fans of Brosnan and would often perform on a stage with a cardboard cut-out of him by their side.

On his official Instagram, Brosnan wrote: “It was with a heavy heart that my son Paris told me of their tragic deaths, how he loved their music and that he was looking forward to seeing them when they came out to LA.
“He told me they were fans of mine in the most playful of ways, and showed me a video of them saying they too were looking forward to hanging out with me when they got to Malibu.
“I never knew these lads or their music till just now, but their music will be forever in my heart. Check out the video of them on Ladybird Lake Austin Texas.”
