Jon Wysocki, founding member of Staind and later, drummer with nu-metallers Soil has died aged 53. The news of Wysocki’s death was confirmed yesterday (18 May) by his bandmates in Lydia’s Castle, and Blabbermouth reports that his death was linked to issues with his liver.
Wysocki formed Stained alongside vocalist Aaron Lewis, guitarist Mike Mushok and bassist, Johnny April in 1995. Staind found mainstream success with third album, Break The Cycle, in part thanks to the huge success of singles such as, Outside and It’s Been Awhile.
