Wayne Static, the frontman for the metal band Static-X, has died at the age of 48.
Morgan Renken, who worked with him and the band for 15 years, says Static died on November 1. She declined to give the location or the cause of death.
Static was the lead vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist for Static-X, whose Wisconsin Death Trip went platinum. He also released a solo album, Pighammer, in 2011.
Renken says Static was set to begin a month-long US tour on November 3 and he planned to play in Russia and Britain next year.
Static was a native of Muskegon, Michigan, and lived outside of Joshua Tree, California. He is survived by his wife, adult film actress Tera Wray.
