El guitarrista de Oso Oso, Tavish Maloney, murió el 24 de marzo a la edad de 24 años. La causa de su fallecimiento no se ha revelado actualmente.
Varios días después de la muerte de Maloney, el cantante principal de Oso Oso, Jade Lilitri, compartió un largo homenaje a su viejo amigo, en el que describió al guitarrista como «una estrella de rock en todos los sentidos de la palabra«. Lilitri agregó, «trató al escenario como a una iglesia y al público como a Dios«.
Lilitri dijo que Maloney estaba «saludable, feliz y listo para prosperar» cuando se vieron por última vez. Estaban filmando una película juntos y tenían planes de trabajar en un álbum este verano.
El tributo completo incluye historias sobre crecer juntos en Long Beach, Nueva York. Lea todo a continuación.
Músicos como Christian Holden de The Hotelier, Prince Daddy & the Hyena, Kississippi, Mom Jeans, Retirement Party y California Cousins también compartieron homenajes en las redes sociales. El sello actual de Oso Oso, Triple Crown Records, y el sello anterior, Counter Intuitive Records, también intervinieron.

Tavish always called me Dordan and I’d call him Davish. It was really fucking dumb, which is right up my alley. He always had a big ass smile on and somehow had the energy to be friendly and supportive to everyone he came across. May he rock on forever in our hearts. ♥️

We played bled fest in 2018 right before puppy love came out and someone gifted me a cute little hand-decorated pipe that had a dog on it. That night at the metal frat after show, Tav convinced me to smoke out of it even though it I wouldn’t be able to bring it on the plane…

I’m not prepared for this now and I literally was never prepared when I met Tav for the first time, when I toured with them for the first time, when I really got to know how sweet Tav was. Just the enormous positive energy. Love this fucking kid. RIP Tav. https://t.co/P4To78vOWN
