The older of singer Ben Kweller's two sons was killed Monday night, his parents announced in separate posts on social media. The boy, also a musician, was 16.
"There's no way that I can be typing this but I am…. Our son, Dorian Zev Kweller, was killed last night. He was only 16 and he was a true legend. Kindest, gentle soul, a friend to all. If you knew him, you know. We'll never get over him as long as we're here on earth. Please keep his spirit alive with your memories and the music he made," the "Wasted & Ready" singer-songwriter wrote Tuesday on Instagram.
The death was confirmed Tuesday by a publicist for the Austin, Texas-based musician, 41, who has toured with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Ben Folds and Death Cab for Cutie. Dorian Kweller recorded music under the name Zev and has a handful of songs available on Spotify.
