Falling in Reverse Guitarist Derek Jones Dead at 35

Derek Jones, the guitarist of the Las Vegas post-hardcore band Falling in Reverse, has died. His bandmate Ronnie Radke revealed the news. He was 35. The cause of death is currently unknown. Pitchfork has reached out to Falling in Reverse’s representatives.

Jones was one of the original members of the band and, with Radke, was one of only two members to have stayed with the group since the beginning. The band’s debut album was 2011’s The Drug in Me Is You. The band released a “reimagined” version of the title track earlier this year. They released four albums total, which were all released by Epitaph. Their last one was 2017’s Coming Home.

“I’ll never forget when you picked me up from jail In Your old tour van to start falling in reverse,” Radke wrote. “Your spirit will be interwoven through the music I write forever. Rest In Peace Derek Jones. My heart is broken.”
